Border guards beside a train on the Italian border

    Grenze Italien/Deutschland ? Wie ist denn das passiert ?
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    Strubbel2013 I think you are asking if this is the border of Italy/ Germany and what is happening? The image relates to Czech migrant Alex Nypl who migrated to Australia in the late 1940s. Alex journeyed to Italy to join the migrant ship PROTEA which sailed to Melbourne from Genoa in 1948. I hope that makes sense :)

    I think what needs to be noted is that there is no border between Germany. Never was unless we accept the Anschluss that ended in 1945. This photo was taken in 1948 and mr Nypl may have been confused, he would have crossed the border from Austria to Italy.

Passenger ship, possibly MS SKAUBRYN, berthed at a wharf

  • MyTeaGoSlow said:
    The ship seen here is most likely the "M/S Skaubryn". The unusual setup of the superstructure with lifeboats so far forward make her recognizable. "Nordmark Film" was a German film production company that also did a short documentary film on the M/S Skaubryn in 1951 / 52. This photo might well be from that film, but it is somewhat unlikely that this was taken in Kiel. The M/S Skaubryn did several journeys to Australia departing from Nordenham. See also trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/27009910 In 1958 the M/S Skaubryn sailed again from Nordenham destined for Austalia carrying migrants, when on March 31 a fire broke out in the engine room while somewhere in the Indian Ocean. Apparently all passengers and crew were safely transferred to another ship, while the M/S Skaubryn suffered heavy damage and sank a few days later.
