Passenger ship, possibly MS SKAUBRYN, berthed at a wharf

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

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.

I'm interested people with this surname who emigrated to Australia: DRUGEMULLER I have a couple of photographs of Ron Drugemuller from the 1940s in Brisbane.

Renira1 Hi there, the museum's library has an info sheet on all the different resources for researching immigration. You can also drop our expert librarians a line if you need assistance with your research :)

Hi I believe that the date on the back of the photo as quoted, may be incorrect. My father left on the Fairsea in September 1953, crossing the equator on 8 October 1953, arriving in Fremantle, Western Australia, Australia 17 October 1953. I hope this helps as I've been unable to find the date of the actual departure, as yet.
