Here is a picture of an early
Jebsen owned steam ship, - the "Clara Jebsen" -, during fitting out at
the building yard, - Chantier Naval Anversois -, on the Schelde in Hoboken,
Antwerp, Belgium.
As mentioned above it is a
scan of an old post card, and an investigation lead me to the referred
conclusions.
The engine was a triple expansion
steam engine from North Eastern Marine Engine Co., Wallsend/Tyne, and she
had two boilers.
"Clara Jebsen" was registered
under German flag, and served Rhederi M. Jebsen of Aabenraa until 1914,
when she was sold to Don Steam Ship Co. of Manila and renamed S/S "Don
Neil".
Later during her career she
changed owners again and was renamed S/S "Tioga", - and later again she
became S/S "Macaria" and finally she became Chinese under the name S/S
"Pei Fu", - owned by North China Steam Ship Co. Ltd., Tientsin.
Under Chinese flag she finally
ran aground at Tsunoshima in 1940 and got totally wrecked.

Here is another card, - this
time most likely the newest Jebsen related post card -, showing the newest
ship, - the "Emma Jebsen". I do not know if it was a promotion card from
the building yard, or if it was issued by the Jebsen Company - -

Now something completely different,
- a menu card - - -
With only Chinese Cooks and
Chief Stewards, we lived , - to put it mildly -, quite well onboard the
Jebsen ships.
No need to deny that!
Here a menu card from M/S "Kaethe
Jebsen", - dated May 11th. 1964.
Original menu card from the
"Kaethe Jebsen".

I had a newer menu card from
the seventies from M/S "Emma Jebsen", but have given it away to Aabenraa
Museum, which has quite a fantastic maritime collection about the great
maritime past of the city.
However, - I made a rather
bad copy of this card before I gave it away for the benefit of mankind
and maritime history, - and here on this copy, - as shown below -, you
can see what we had for lunch at that Christmas way back in 1975 - - -
