The 'Carmanian' at Hobart
The steel barque 'Carmanian', 1840 tons, at Hobart, Tasmania. The first Master of the 'Carmanian 'was Captain W.F. Bunn, who originated from Gt. Yarmouth, Norfolk, UK. He captained her for about four years, and the vessel then changed owners, but Captain Bunn still retained the command. The Carmanian's last visit to England under his command was in 1901. On 19th May 1904, whilst on his last voyage before retiring, a voyage from New Caledonia to Delaware, Captain Bunn died at sea and was buried at sea the next day, arriving at Delaware under the command of the First Mate. The following information is taken from the ship's entry at the Through Mighty Seas website : The 'Carmanian' was a steel ship built by R.Williamson & Son at Workington, UK, launched on Monday, 19th April 1897. She was operated by her builders until 1903, when she was sold to E.F.& W.Roberts, also of Workington. In 1910 the 'Carmanian' was sold to Norwegian owners and was registered at Stavanger, retaining her name. The 'Carmanian' was lost during the First World War, on passage from Buenos Aires (departed 18th February, 1916) to Queenstown with a wheat cargo. The barque was sunk by gunfire from a German submarine U19, 55 miles off the West coast of Ireland on Tuesday, 25th April 1916. The crew abandoned ship in two boats, one of which capsized, drowning all aboard. The other, containing the master and nine men, reached the Dingle peninsula in Ireland and the men were rescued by cliff ladders. Some of the rescuers were later commended by the King of Norway.

The four masted steel barque 'Balasore', 2724 tons, after being renamed 'Monongahela'. [steel four mast barque, 2724 tons. ON99423, 311.0 x 43.6 x 24.5. Built 1892 (7) Barclay, Curle and Co. Ltd.

The BC Archives has footage of this ship operating as a log barge on the BC coast in August 1940. The ship's name is plainly visible, and the date of the footage in confirmed independently.
The 'Jupiter' docked in an unidentified port.
The iron barque 'Jupiter', 744 tons, docked in an unidentified port. A researcher believes that this image of the 'Jupiter' was taken at Salamanca Place in Hobart. A vessel of that name evidently docked in Tasmania (at least once) in early 1903 based on reports in newspapers: "The Morning Bulletin" (Rockhampton Qld.) 31 January 1903 and "The Norfolk News" (England) 27 February 1904. The reports give an account of the ship's voyage and deaths of the ship's Captain John Howes and his wife (believed to be Mary Ann Howes) from which it appears the 'Jupiter' was in Tasmania in January of 1903.

Later was used as seamen's hostel in West India Docks during the strike of 1925. Was stranded in Algoa Bay Nov. 14 1903, following damage in a gale. She was later refloated and towed to England by the Dutch tug 'Swartezee' for repairs. Dragged her anchors and stranded at Inchkeith while on duty with German surrendered ships, but refloated without damage.] Further information has been provided by Roy Derham MBE, the author of the book 'Vindicatrix': 'The information given beneath the pictures of the Ship Arranmore is in several places, incorrect. The book 'Vindicatrix' was fully researched over two years and records her history from her keel being laid until she was broken up in Newport, Wales, in 1967. She was part of the Maiden City Line managed by Thomson, Dickie & Co. After being pulled from the beach at Algoa Bay in 1903 she was towed home by the Tug Zwart Zee to Greenock in Scotland, NOT England, where she arrived on 26th April, 1904 and she was repaired by her builders. She sailed again just 14 weeks later. She was sold to the Germans in 1910 but was severely damaged off the Falklands inJuly 1913 and under a jury rigged sail, took 40 days to reach Montivideo. From there she was towed back to Hamburg by the tug 'Thames' and turned into a Depot ship for seamen in Hamburg Harbour. In that same year, the Imperial German Navy commandeered her and took her to Heligoland to be decked over and provided with boiler and generator, then she was taken through the Kiel Canal to Eckernfiorde in the Baltic on 10th September 1915 where she provided accommodation for Uboat officers whist they trained. After the war she was anchored in the Firth of Forth off Lieth, Scotland, whilst she was providing accommodation for German crews who had been delivering their ships under the Reparation scheme, On 15th November, 1920, a storm blew her on to the Inchkeith Rocks. She WAS holed and when towed clear, was taken into drydock in Lieth for repair. She should have returned to Hamburg but instead, was handed over to the Shipping Federation who took her to the West India Docks, London. She remained the Waltraute until 1922, when she was named 'Vindicatrix'].
