Provides photos and information about sailing third class aboard the four sister vessels New York, Deutschland, Hamburg and Albert Ballin. Text alludes that the vessels disembark from Sandy Hook NJ bound for European ports, but unlike brochures aimed at higher passenger classes, the brochure provides neither itinerary, nor rates, perhaps indicating that third class passengers aboard HAPAG vessels during this era cruised mainly for transportation, and not pleasure, means.
