History :
The German shipping company North German Lloyd (NDL) was founded on 20 February 1857 by the Bremen shipowners Hermann Heinrich Meier and Eduard Crüsemann. In 1857, the first ship, the Adler (Eagle) began a regular passenger service between the Weser region (where Bremen is located) and England. Just one year later, regular lines were launched between the new port of Bremerhaven and New York, using two steamships, "Bremen" and "New York".
There would be many subsequent adventures and the shipping company continued until the 1970s.

Historique :
La compagnie maritime allemande North German Lloyd (NDL) a été fondée le 20 février 1857 par les armateurs de Brême Hermann Heinrich Meier et Eduard Crüsemann.
En 1857, le premier navire, l'Adler (Aigle), a commencé un service régulier de passagers entre la région de la Weser (où se trouve Brême) et l'Angleterre. À peine un an plus tard, des lignes régulières ont été lancées entre le nouveau port de Bremerhaven et New York en utilisant deux navires à vapeur : le "Bremen" et le "New York".
Après de nombreuses péripéties, cette compagnie maritime perdurera jusque dans les années 70.
