Neustria had a compound engine and single screw, one funnel, two masts, and a straight stem, and was of iron construction.
In the Spanish–American War during 1898, Spain used Neustria to bring back Spanish troops from Cuba.
According to The Statue of Liberty Ellis Island Foundation Website, the Neustria transported immigrants from Naples, Italy, via Marseilles to the Port of New York, from which they were ferried by barges to Ellis Island, from 1892 to 1908.
[1] On October 27, 1908, Neustria sailed from New York to Marseille and vanished without a trace.
She was not carrying any passengers at the time, but her entire crew of 38 was lost.
