 Merchant Ships in South Africa - The following ship photos collection belongs to Capt Juan Carlos Carrion in Argentina, who allowed their publication in Histarmar. They represent about 300 images of steamships that plied South African waters, up to the 1st World War. They cannot be used for commercial purposes, only for non profit educational uses. Each photo has a link to a larger resolution of 750 x 575 pixels. I do not have it larger than this, as the original photos are quite blurry.
