56 years working life is not bad, I think. Plus several wars ...

Thinking this is after 1926 because of 'Brisbane' on the lifebelt. Or not?

beachcomber australia I was just thinking the same thing. But do those vehicles look older, with no pneumatic tyres?

On this History page of the SEDOV there is a slide show of contemporary photos of the MAGDALENE VINNEN with accompaniment of a German sea song with accordion - maybe what they sounded like? - www.sts-sedov.info/eng/history/

beachcomber australia ooooh just got to this now. Do you reckon it could be a recording from that time? Perhaps it is worth us contacting them to find out where that sound recording came from! What a record if it is! Love it, thanks so much for pointing us to it.
beachcomber australia said:
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons No I don't think it is an old recording, but certainly an old song which gives an idea of what a German male chorus with accordion accompaniment sounded like.
