THE ONLY RECORDED WRAPPER CARRIED ON THE NORTH GERMAN LLOYD STEAMSHIP "EIDER" WRECK USE.

This wrapper was onboard the North German Lloyd S.S. "Eider", a German luxury passenger liner traveling from New York and bound for Bremen via Southampton with 227 passengers and 167 crew. She ran aground about half a mile from shore off St. Catherine's Point on the Isle of Wright in the English Channel during in a dense fog on Sunday night. January 31st 1892. The captain believed that the liner would ride off the bar with the tide. Some of the cargo was jettisoned. At 7am the next day, a lifeboat approached "Eider" to warn that a gale was approaching. The captain felt sure that tugs would arrive in time and asked the lifeboat to carry some of the mail bags ashore instead of the passengers. As conditions worsened all passengers and crew were removed with no loss of life; however, the ship was lost. The mail was taken charge of by officials from the Newport Post Office. Two markings were used, one in German for mail bound for Bremen and the scarcer one in English (Saved from wreck of S.S. "Eider") for mail bound to Southampton. See website for complete images.
