Hi Mike,
These are undoubtedly of G W Wolff and magnificent they are, too. In fact, Mike Nash and I would be very keen to see them in the new edition of Tasmanian Shipwrecks 1900-2012 which we are just about to send off for editing and will be happy to discuss this off-list!
Regards
Graeme

Re: TASMANIAN SHIPPING CARDS - POST YOUR IMAGES HERE
Late 1930s. The easy one is D69 in the foreground which is HMS VENDETTA acquired by RAN 1933, sold 1946. One of her three sisters (all lost 1941-42) is alongside. Then a light cruiser, one of HOBART (1938)/PERTH(1939)/SYDNEY(1935). First cargo liner looks like Shaw Savill & Albion's MAHANA 1917-53. ...
