In 1875 a man called Thomassen tried to sink the vessel by placing a time bomb in a chest smuggled aboard. He did so to effect a claim on goods he had stowed on her. The bomb exploded whilst the ship was in port at Bremerhaven killing sixty eight people and injuring dozens of others. The man confessed to his crime and reputedly tried to kill himself.
