The only ship which has been identified is HMT Olympic, a sister ship of RMS Titanic. Ypiranga's sister ship Corcovada was similarly outfitted. The flow of water between the tanks, controlled by regulating the movement of the air in the side branches, served to steady the ship in rough water, and it gained the reputation of being particularly steady after installation. This was remedied by installing two water tanks near the fore and after masts on the upper deck, connected by a flying bridge. After launch Ypiranga was found to be notoriously unsteady at sea. It was built in 1908 by Germaniawerft and was 448.4’ x 55.3’, and measured 8,142 gross register tons. Ypiranga was a German-registered passenger/cargo steamer owned and operated by Hamburg-America Line shipping company. In 1925, she was sold and used as a collier. She was sold in 1919 and continued in that role. SS Pontic was a tender and baggage vessel of the White Star Line that was built in 1894 by Harland & Wolff Ltd, Belfast, United Kingdom.
