For the Imperial & Royal Danube Steam Navigation Co. Archduke Lewis was initially called Ludwig. The drawings were initially made for Archduke Lewis and then used for the other two boats. Henry Hazleton allocated a separate portfolio number to each boat despite the fact that they did not have separate drawings; Archduke Lewis was Pf. 1182, Franz Carl was Pf. 1183, and Hermione was Pf. 1184.
