I think that is what it says, the writing was cut off of the photo.

I wonder where they were going?

Thanks for stopping by.

These are two snapshots from the second hand shop in Pequot Lakes Minnesota.

 

The Maunoloa was a Lake Bulk Freighter built in 1899 by the Chicago Ship Building Company.  In 1945 it was sold to Upper Lakes and renamed Maunoloa II  it was sold for scrap in 1971.

So this photo was taken between 1945 and 1971.

Thanks for stopping by.

I happened along this photo this past weekend in a shop that I will call Dorset 3 as it is the third Antique Shop we have visited in Dorset, Minnesota.   The Graf Waldersee was built by Blohm and Voss of Hamburg in 1898 for the Hamburg Amerika Line.  In later years it was taken over from Germany in WWI as a troop transport service.

This must be part of the crew, perhaps there is someone that can translate the German?? written at the bottom of the photo.  This must be part of the crew, and the photo was probably taken in 1906.  If they are not crew perhaps they are a group of immigrants??
Thanks for stopping by do come again:)  Click on the photo to see it larger!
Update from Ena! Thanks!! 
the german at the bottom is hard to read.. I think, it means in german: "Zum Andenk. Neujar in New York." translation: in memory of new year's day in new york.
