Four-masted barque PAMIR in Kurraba Point, c 1947

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

• Corinneski said:

  The Pamir was a German built and owned ship (F. Laeisz shipping line) until the end of WW1 when it was handed over to Italyas reparations. F. Laeisz bought it back in 1924. The Finns bought it in 1931 and used it as an Australian wheat transport vessel. It was seized by the NZ Government as a prize of war during WW2. It had a very checkered career - see here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pamir_(ship).

  Corinneski It is indeed, thank you for making that correction Corinneski. It was kind of like the ships of the Sterling Line, they also ran into difficulties. The poor old sailing ships rarely did well in the trade.
