ADOLPH FRIEDRICH brig

Post by aukepalmhof » Sun Nov 26, 2017 8:28 pm

For the 500th Anniversary of the Schiffer-Compagnie in Stralsund, the DDR issued in 1988 a set of stamps, which shows us paintings of ships sailing for the Schiffer-Compagnie.

The brig ADOLPH FRIEDRICH when and where built is unknown. She was registered for the Schiffer-Compagnie in Stralsund, Germany under No 60 in 1863 where the owner was given then as C.A. Beug, Stralsund and under command of Captain C. Leplow.
Tonnage 187 nrt, dim?
Call-sign JMKS.
For that time she was a very economical vessel for the owners.
Her fate is not known so far. More specifications and history on the brig are welcome.

The painting was painted in 1872 by August Lasczky for Captain J. Netzel, the painting is on display in the Culture Historical Museum in Stralsund. The postkarten museum gives that she was painted by H.C.Kraeft in 1872?
