AG Vulcan Stettin was a German shipbuilding and locomotive building company founded in 1851 by the engineers Franz Früchtenicht and Franz Brock at Bredow, near the Baltic port of Stettin, today Szczecin in Poland. Reorganised in 1857 as the Stettiner Maschinenbau Actien-Gesellschaft Vulcan, it added a locomotive department in 1859 that eventually built about 4,000 locomotives. Because the Stettin site could not handle ever larger ships, a second yard opened at Hamburg between 1907 and 1909, and from 1911 the firm traded as Vulcan-Werke Hamburg und Stettin. It built famous Norddeutscher Lloyd liners such as the four-funnel Kaiser class, many battleships, cruisers, destroyers and torpedo boats for the Kaiserliche Marine, and warships for foreign navies. The company went bankrupt in 1928, and the Hamburg yard was sold in 1930. As a make in this atlas it covers the ships and locomotives built under the Vulcan name.
