SS Nyassa was a steam ocean liner that was launched in Germany in 1906 as Bülow for Norddeutscher Lloyd (NDL). In 1916 Portugal seized her and renamed her Trás-os-Montes. After a few years operated by Transportes Marítimos do Estado, she had a long career with Companhia Nacional de Navegação (CNN). In the Second World War she rescued survivors from Allied merchant ships sunk by the German Navy, and took refugees from Europe to Cuba, Mexico, the United States, and Palestine. She was scrapped in England in 1951.

General-class liners

Between 1903 and 1908 NDL took delivery of a class of 11 twin-screw passenger liners, of intermediate size and speed, from four different German shipbuilders. All were named after Prussian field marshals and generals of the 18th and early 19th century, so they were called the Feldherren-Klasse, or in English the "General class". Schichau-Werke in Danzig (now Gdańsk in Poland) built five of the class, including the lead ship, Zieten, which was launched in 1902 and completed in 1903. Joh. C. Tecklenborg in Bremerhaven built three, including Bülow. AG Weser in Bremen built two, and AG Vulcan in Stettin (now Szczecin in Poland) built one.
