"Deutschland" in Grytviken, South Georgia. Note: These cards are related to the Second German Antarctic Expedition (1911–1912) led by Wilhelm Filchner. The expedition ship was the three-masted barque "Deutschland". Wilhelm Lorenzen was the first officer of the research vessel. After the original captain, Richard Vahsel, died of a serious illness in the Antarctic ice in August 1912, Lorenzen assumed command of the "Deutschland". Deep animosity existed between Lorenzen, supported by some of the crew and scientists and the expedition leader, Wilhelm Filchner. This led to a full-blown mutiny in December 1912 in the port of Grytviken (South Georgia), during which Filchner was ousted from command (Image 1) (Image 2) (All Images) Currently...CHF 200.00 Closing..Nov-23, 11:59 PM French Antarctic Territories Lot Symbol Lot Description CV or Estimate 1288 ** French Antarctic 1955-98: Fine unused collection neatly arranged in mounts on album pages, apparently entirely never hinged, together with a few covers and booklets.
