Scope and content

Captain Nauer's photographs from the German South Seas (around 1910)The "Allgäuer Seefahrer" Karl Nauer spent the years 1903 to 1913 in the service of North German Lloyd in German New Guinea, the former German colony in the Pacific. From 1906, as captain of the steamship "Sumatra", he sailed between the main squares of the Bismarck archipelago. Over the years, Nauer became an important contact person for various German ethnological museums, not least due to the stays of numerous scientists on board with him. It is documented that in 1908/1909 Nauer undertook a collection journey of several months on the Solomon Islands with the ethnologist Dr. Ludwig Cohn for the Bremen Überseemuseum, and from this time on also photographed.
