Austria Hungarian.
Built at Trieste in 1870 for the Peljesac Nav Co., of Orebic, she was 775 tons.
Stamp design is based on an oil painting by Captain V.Ivankovic, now in the Maritime Museum at Dubrovnik.
The ship is flying the Company's house flag at the peak of the foremast.
The Austria-Hungary should be shown at the stem, but apparently this has been changed to the flag of Croatia, though the crowns can still be seen.
Eber was sold to Greek buyers in 1885.
