This is the 3rd set from a collection of 180 or so photographs taken during the 1910-1911 deployment of S.M.S. Gneisenau to the Far East. S.M.S. Gneisenau was an armored cruiser of the Kaiserliche Marine, or German Imperial Navy. For the main catalog page of this archive, including the ports and dates visited, see SMS Gneisenau Far East Photo Collection, 1910-1911.
I have litterally just this minute joined this site and yours are the first pictures I have come to. I have’nt had time to look at your site properly yet but what I have seen so far I find both interesting and fascinating.
I run a Flickr site and I know that your work would be much appreciated there.
Thank you for your pictures, I look forward to spending some time here.
Best wishes,
Thanks for your comments, Colin! 🙂
The point is the cherumans do not know the diff between Travancore and Cochin. The ship just visited Cochin. There is a story of some relative of mine handing over the port plans to the cherumans.
