Based on the photo, it is probably the Hans, later confiscated by the US following WW 1 and renamed the Mary Dollar, then converted to a floating gambling house and renamed as the Tango.  Ultimately re-rigged as 6 masted schooner as the start of WW 2 approached.

The Chilean tug Yelcho, which rescued Shackleton's crew from Elephant Island following their voyage in the open boat James Caird when their polar ship Endurance was crushed by ice. (I've read the book ;)  )

You got it, Danny.  Considering that the Yelcho was not equipped for the task it was a remarkable rescue indeed!

 

Figures someone here read the book....

Yes David, she is the Skaubryn.

 

My family migrated from Germany to Australia in her on her last completed voyage in 1957 when I was four years old. She caught fire and sank in the Indian Ocean on the following voyage.

Good job you didn't wait for the next voyage Danny. I was on the Herald of free enterprise the day before she capsized. Glad I went when I did and sorry for all those that were onboard.

 

Next up, another oldie.
