List of the two-chimney stacks of the German-Australian Steamship Society
The German-Australian Steamship Company operated as a shipping company from 1888 to 1926 and ran a line between Hamburg and Australia from 1889 to 1914. Among other things, she used a series of twelve freighters, built by the Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft , which stood out due to two narrow, closely spaced chimneys.
