Hello Susi,

Could it be Dwinsk?

DWINSK
The "Dwinsk" was built by Harland & Wolff, Belfast in 1897 as the third
"Rotterdam" for the Holland America Line. She was an 8,302 gross ton ship,
length 470.3ft x beam 53.2ft, one funnel, two masts, twin screw and a speed
of 14 knots. There was passenger accommodation for 200-1st, 150-2nd and
2,000-3rd class. Launched on 18/2/1897, she sailed from Rotterdam on her
maiden voyage to Boulogne and New York on 18/8/1897. She started her last
voyage on this service on 17/2/1906 and then went to the Scandinavian
American Line and was renamed "C.F.Tietgen". On 26/4/1906 she commenced her
first Copenhagen - Christiania (Oslo) - Christiansand - New York voyage and
started her last voyage on this service on 6/11/1913. She then went to the
Russian American Line, was renamed "Dwinsk" and commenced sailings between
Libau and New York on 10/2/1914. Her last voyage on this service started
28/7/1914 and she transferred to Archangel - Hammerfest - New York sailings
on 20/9/1914. In 1917 she was put under Cunard management and sailed under
the British flag until 18/6/1918 when she was torpedoed and sunk by the
German submarine U.151, 400 miles from Bermuda. [Posted to The ShipsList by
