The Frederik VIII (11,850 grt, 544 ft. long), was the flagship of the Scandinavian-American Line's
fleet of four transatlantic steamers. She was in service from 1914. When sold for scrap in 1936
it marked the end of the line. From then on, the owners, DFDS - The United Steamship Co.,
has concentrated, as far as passenger services are concerned, on North Sea and Scandinavian
routes, today under the name of DFDS Seaways.


The Oscar II (9,970 grt, 519 ft. long) sailed on her maiden voyage from Copenhagen
to New York in 1902. She was laid up in 1931 and scrapped three years later.
