Open data · every figure carries its source
No gross tonnage is recorded for this vessel, so it cannot be ranked by size. Rank is only shown where the underlying measurement exists.
Vessel particulars
Every value is as recorded in the source. Blanks are values the source does not hold — none is estimated from a sister ship or a class average.

In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
Drachenfels was built in 1921, making it 105 years old. It is one of 59 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 1,858 GT. Across the whole of the 1920s the registry holds 516 vessels, median 2,350 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 210 vessels to Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft, with a median tonnage of 30,285 GT, delivered between 1905 and 2010. See the rest of that yard’s output.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 5605519 this registry holds 14 other vessels, whose median build year is 1921 and which range from 1920 to 1923. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1921.
Its IMO number, 5605519, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 5×7 + 6×6 + 0×5 + 5×4 + 5×3 + 1×2 = 108 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does not, so this number as recorded does not validate; it is shown here as held rather than silently corrected.

No ship class is recorded for this vessel, so these are not asserted to be sister ships — they are contemporaries from the same builder, shown because that is what the data supports.
