Summary

The 'Moshulu' at Port Adelaide. Built in 1904, the ship got its name in 1917. A researcher suggests that this photograph was taken between 1935-1942, as it was owned by Gustav Erikson in Finland at this time and employed in the grain trade with Australia. She won th last grain race in 1939 from Australia to Queenstown, Ireland, taking 91 days and carrying 4,875 tonnes of grain. The ship still exists as a restaurant and museum ship in Philadelphia, USA.
