English: "This photochrome print of the steamship Normannia in the harbor in Algiers is part of “Views of People and Sites in Algeria” from the catalog of the Detroit Publishing Company (1905). Built in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1890, Normannia was one of four twin-propeller steamships belonging to the Hamburg-America Line that regularly crossed the Atlantic from Hamburg, Germany, and Southampton, England to New York. She was 8,242 GRT, was 152.40 meters long and 17.53 meters wide. Normannia was severely damaged in January 1894, when a huge tidal wave struck the ship as it sailed from New York to Algiers."
