I suppose more likely printed/published then, hence the confusion.

If she was lost in 1910, how come the photo is dated 1929 !

Now there's an impressive ship - all five masts of her.
Fore, main, middle, mizzen and jigger.
Renowned as one of the fastest commercial sailing ships and could easily manage 20 knots in a good blow. A model of her in full sail graces my study.

She is the PREUSSEN of Reederei F.Laeisz, Hamburg.
See the white flag with the big FL on top of the first main mast.
There were not many 5-masted square riggers at that time.
