Nestor Tuominen (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

George Oates said:
I had a look for this chap on the web - trying to work out what sport he played. I think there's a typo in your title here - "Tuominen"? - but it seems like his name might be "Tueminen," and in fact, there's another LOC record that says as much.
Joe said:
This is probably Finnish wrestler Nestori Tuominen, who won the gold medal (note: annoying popup ad with audio at that link) in the 67.0kg class in the Greco-Roman style at the Wrestling World Championships in 1911. Also, note that the surname is spelled correctly by Bain on this negative.
George Oates said:
Righto... misspelled in other places then :)
The Library of Congress said:
whyaduck: Thanks for the heads up! You're correct, this is Nestori Tuominen, a Finnish Greco-Roman wrestler. We're going to change the source data and reload the description here in Flickr to match. (And we'll be fixing that other LOC record depicting him as well, George!)

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).
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
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.
