Transcriber's Notes:
* The usual route for the S.S. Western Metropolis was from Breman, Germany via Southampton,
England and indeed she might have traveled this route on this her last voyage.
See next Note.
* The last voyage of the S.S. Western Metropolis started on 24th Aug.1867 and on 8 September
1867 she arrived at Cowes, Isle of Wight with a broken shaft and was delayed for nearly a
month for repairs. She left Bremen on her final crossing to Southampton and New York on
20 October 1867 having made a total of four round voyages on the North Atlantic route.
By this tine, ocean going paddle steamers were out of date and she was sold in 1869.
