 GERMAN NEW GUINEA: 'S.M.S. Moewe' German Navy supply ship postcard by Verlag von Schulze Sydney inscribed 'POST CARD' & 'POSTKARTE',
to Herbertshohe with Germany 5pf tied by faint 'DEUTSCHE SEEPOST ...' cds. Stated to be the only known Golden Age postcard of a German Navy ship produced in Australia (note the altered spelling of the ship's name which in German is rendered as
'Möve'). It is likely that the ship was in Sydney as part of Federation celebrations, and that the card was printed during its visit.
