From wikimedia - commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Winterhude_(ship,_1898) "Winterhude was an Steel three-masted ship built in 1898 by Rickmers Reismühlen, Rhederei und Schiffbau AG, Bremen for their own account as fullrigged ship Mabel Rickmers. Dimensions: 81,44×12,20×7,54 meters and tonnage: 2065 GRT, 1985 NRT, and 3060 DWT. 1912 sold to Schlüter & Maack, Hamburg and renamed Winterhude. At the same time re-rigged as a barque. Then followed a checkered history of owners. Broken up 1949" More details at sailing-ships.oktett.net/86.html including "1932 - She lost her main royal mast, and thus became `bald-headed' having lost both her royals." [no idea what that means!]

beachcomber australia The royalmasts are the fourth sections of mast up from the bottom and the sails on these are the royals. I'm surprised they didn't replace them again though, since its not terribly difficult to do so.

tropicvi, are you sure? It also looks like the C'sted wharf. Protestant Cay is right out of view but that surely looks like Ft. Louise Augusta in the distance. The benches are exactly like the ones in C'sted.

beachcomber australia Ack - you did better than I could! All I could make out was a 'T', 'L' and 'D'. I think you've got the last five letters right -'field'. The flag looks like J&J Denholm.

I've just stumbled upon a Spurling image of NEOTSFIELD which looks very like this photo. NEOTSFIELD (1889 - 1917), 1,894 registered tons, length 269ft 6in, beam 40ft 1in, depth 22ft 7in. Constructed of iron, built by A. McMillan, Dumbarton, for F.H. Dangar's Sydney firm of Dangar, Gedye & Co. She was intended for the wool trade and initially sailed in this trade from Sydney. In 1902, she was sold to R.Thomas & Co. and put in the nitrate trade from from the West Coast of Latin America to Europe. She could not equal the passages of the crack German nitrate clippers. In 1907/08 she took 122 days from Taltal, Chile, to Hamburg, and in 1910 she took 141 days from Tortugas Island, Mexico, to the Lizard.. In 1916, she went from New York to Melbourne in 130 days.She was sold again in early 1917. In June 1917, she was stopped by a German submarine 112 miles south-west of Bishop's Rock, Scilly Islands - the crew were given time to leave the ship in their boats and she was sunk by explosive charges. .
