Dear Sir,

At an antiques fair in Little Compton, RI (USA) today I bought,at a very cheap price, a picture (a print of a painting) of a full rigged ship with the name SEE ADLER on her bow and high on her forestay she was flying the German Navy ensign of WW I.

After I got home and studied this picture I was able to decipher the writing on it which reads "Felix Count Luckner 1931". I was quite amazed at this find and checked the internet for more info and found your website. I thought you would be interested.

It looks like an autographed ship,s picture, signed by the skipper which is a fairly common practice.

I vaguely knew of Count Luckner because many years ago I read his biography by Lowell Thomas.

Dear Bill,

Thank you for your E-Mail. what a great find you made, it sounds like a little gem.

The Count was a very interesting character, and my piece on Ahoy about him has caused a lot of interest from many different places around the world.

Would it please be possible for you to scan your picture and sent it to me as an attachment to an E-Mail?

My site is a team effort between my friend Terry in Atlanta Georgia, I do all the writing, and then Terry translates that into the various articles that you see on our site.

Should you be able to send us a scanned image, with your approval we would add it to the piece on Seeadler, of course with a suitable acknowledgement.

Thanks again for taking the time to write, it is appreciated.

Best wishes from both Australia, and the United States.

Mackenzie Gregory.
