Kaiserliche Marine - Need help to identify ships

[Nils3D]

Hi

As my german is rusty, I prefer to write you in english. I have some photos og KM ships in the years just befor the Great War, from the Kaiser's summer travels to Norway. I think most pictures are from about 1910, but there might some older too. In between there's also a british Dreadnought (I believe it's the HMS 'Bellerophone') and some old cruise liners, both british and german. Then there's also an image of what I believe is KdF 'Wilhelm Gustloff' or KdF 'Robert Ley'
If some of you are able to identify some of the ships' I'd be grateful. I have an idea for some of them myself, but I'm not 100% sure. I think SMS 'Mecklenburg' and also SMS 'Schwaben' too, also some Wittelsbach class ships is there..
Anyway enjoy the photos from a beautiful lost time. Forgot to mention, all photos are from  - Ulvik in hardanger, and surrounding waters.
Please follow this link to my Photobucket online photo album

Hai

#79 is Wilhelm Gustloff. Robert Ley's Mast position is different.
It's a bit difficult to set a Number to each picture.

Teddy thanks, yeah I suspected it was the Gustloff.
I see the 'Ley' has a bigger superstructure between the bridgework and funnel than the 'Gustloff'..

I've edited the slideshow so the numbers now should show.
Thanks for telling me..

looks like a Swedish railway ferry, either "Drottning Victoria" or "Konung Gustav V".

Hi!

wa1998 / wa2070 / HFU-Wa-2558
Schlachtschiff (Battleship) BELLEROPHON-Klasse (BELLEROPHON, SUPERB oder TEMERAIRE)
Auf allen 3 Bildern (wahrscheinlich) das selbe Schiff.

wa2020 / HFU-Wa-2505 / HFU-Wa-2527
Schlachtschiff/Linienschiff NASSAU-Klasse (NASSAU, POSEN, WESTPHALEN oder RHEINLAND)
Auf allen 3 Bildern (wahrscheinlich) das selbe Schiff.

Thanks Nauarchus and kgvm, that's a few more bits of the puzzle solved
I later also found and image of the Hapag Lloyd liner 'St Louis' among my photos.
I believe that the the two ships on wa0188 is the 'SMS Braunschweig and 'SMS Elsass'

I've attached the image of 'St Louis'

Hi Nils!

wa0188
Möglich, aber nicht zu 100 %. Aber definitiv BRAUNSCHWEIG-Klasse.

Schiffbauer, thanks a lot for your very helpful comments!
BTW I can tell that the liner at wa1620 is possible the Orient Line ship 'SS Orama', sunk in 1940 by Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, during operation Juno
