The 1,459 ton Danube, a sailing ship named after the second longest river in Europe, was built in 1890 for the Nourse Line.

On 15 June 1891 she made a voyage to Fiji carrying 591 Indian indentured labourers.

She also made a trip to Trinidad, arriving on 1 January 1892, carrying 609 passengers. There were 29 deaths during this voyage. [1]

In 1892, the Danube went missing on voyage from Guadeloupe to New York. [2]
