Aktien-Gesellschaft Vulcan Stettin, short AG Vulcan Stettin, was a German shipbuilding and locomotive building company founded in 1851 near the city of Stettin, today Szczecin in Poland. Because of the limited facilities in Stettin, an additional yard was built in Hamburg in 1907, and the firm was then named Vulcan-Werke Hamburg und Stettin. It constructed some of the most famous civilian German ships and played a significant role in both World Wars building warships for the Kaiserliche Marine. It built the liner Imperator, later renamed Berengaria. The company was dismantled after the Second World War.
