YNGAREN of Goteborg (Gothenburg)

Odd looking ship, so I went googling. She was a "Zoo Ship" on an earlier 1927 voyage, bringing a giraffe and several hundred birds for the Sydney Zoological Gardens - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/3887538 " At 08.02 hours on 12 Jan 1942, the Yngaren was hit by two torpedoes from U-43 in heavy seas and sank within one minute about 600 miles west of Ireland " www.wrecksite.eu/wreck.aspx?12932 uboat.net/allies/merchants/1242.html

beachcomber australia Thanks Beachcomber, love the detail about YNGAREN being a 'zoo ship' - how unusual! Was hoping to find some images of the vessel's cargo in 1927 but alas not so far!
Peter Cundall said:
Yngaren was an early motorship with a very small funnel, hence the odd appearance. The ship was built in 1921 (only 10 years after the first commercial motorship) and was 5427 grt. The ship was owned by Red. A/B Transatlantic that maintained a regular cargo liner service from Europe to Australia.

Warship, probably the French naval sloop BELLATRIX, off Farm Cove in Sydney, July 1932

Originally the railings near "DEE-WHY" were open (both ends of the vessel). See www.flickr.com/photos/63385174@N06/5824335615/in/photolis... Within a year (1929) white painted canvas had to be placed behind these railing due to wash reaching passengers in that area. Around 1930 these railings were replaced by steel plates as wash still reached the passengers. Same for the identical SS Curl Curl.
