Hello, Thorsten---

The most complete list I'm aware of is the one which appears in Shipbuilders to the World, a company history that was published in 1986. It gives all the information you're looking for, and then some, for each H&W-built ship to that time.

Thank you Mark!

Seems that this is a "must have" :)

my only problem is the price for this book. I have take a look and found some from 120 Euros (round 150 Dollar) to open End.

Yep...it's not easy to find and, when it does show up, it's not cheap. I obtained my copy a few years back, so I don't have any recent pricing knowledge, but the 120 Euro/$150 range doesn't sound to me like it's too far off the mark.

Hey Thorsten!

Are there any famous ships built at B&V?

(probably a very stupid question, but I'm not that in-to shipyards :lol: )

Cap Polonio
Cap Arcona
Wilhelm Gustloff

the Battleship Bismarck

Love your name, Samson&Goliath (three guesses as to what it refers to, and the first two don't count, eh? :wink: )

One in particular is the SS Rohilla built in 1906, but sadly lost two years after Titanic. She also shared one of the Titanic's stewardesses Mrs Mary Keziah Roberts.
