We need your HELP !!!

The one and only existing ship sailed by Count von Luckner between 1937 and 1939 among others in Australia and New Zealand, is in danger.

Perhaps it is going to be scrapped soon !

Now we have the chance to save the ship. Therefore, we need your help. Of course, the question of money has to be solved, but everyone can help by checking his contacts. Please, help us by publishing this request in the way you can.

For further information, please, contact us or read the latest information in the link „news“.

Memorial to Douglas Page
von Luckner sunk 14 ships as a merchant raider in WW1. He tried to save the lives of his enemies, successfully with one exception. It is written in the biography as follows:

...only one seaman (the freighter "Horngarth" from Cardiff) died after having
injured by hot water caused by a leak in a steam pipe. This damage was
caused by a shell of the "SEEADLER".

The seaman was Douglas Page.
