@ Annette Bennett, copy to Gordy: Wm. Holyman & Sons Pty Limited: This name of the Company dates from 1924, however its founder, the son of an English Master Mariner, arrived as an apprentice on the barque Elizabeth Radcliffe in Launceston, Tasmania seventy years earlier. Continuing his seafaring for some thirty years, he steadily (and through many adversities) built up his company, his fleet – initially ketches, paddle steamers and cutters - and his seafaring family. By the 1920s “Holymans” were trading to Victoria and South Australia as well as around Tasmania. Despite possessing a responsibly innovative and venturesome character, the Company’s maritime activity inevitably involved numerous ship casualties and crew losses, one claiming the life of one of the founder’s grandsons, the ship’s master. For a time the line went by the name of White Star Line. Remaining a private company, they branched post- Second World War into the airline industry (until 1957) and road transport although shipping remained central. Still working about the connection between Holyman Australia and Nordseewerke Emden Germany. Obviously LANENA was the only ship built by Nordseewerke for Holyman in 1925. But she had a sister named "CLIVE". Owner was „Anfartygs-Aktiebolaget Österssjön“ in Gothenburg/Sweden. Have found a nice old photo of LANENA (foreground) and CLIVE at the outfitting pier of Nordseewerke Emden: Click and please scroll down to the second photo:

Hope this may assist. Regards Peter

Hi Annette, I am glad to be of some help. I have a few more some where also.

Great photo Gordy!
Have been searching for a quality image of Lanena for ages! My father, John Michelsen, sailed on her between April - August 1955
