Note on Monday 19th July 2010
I have been advised that the
photos on this page are not of the 'Johan Cesar'
They are actually of a ship named the 'Pendle Hill'
Following another search of the internet I found this note ...
HERE
I have written to the Hamburg Museum
and the correct photos will be uploaded as soon as I receive them
Reply from The Hamburg Museum ... Sunday 3rd October 2010
Dear Geoff ... and I’m
sorry you had to wait for an answer for so long!
Unfortunately, we could not find a picture of the 'Johan Cesar'
in our archive or data based catalogue yet
There are several Godeffroy ships with similar names but not exactly
this one at the period concerned
We do continue finding out about other photographs and pictures
of various ships
but I’m not to sure if this will be successful
I don’t know where the information given on the website does
come from
but unfortunately, we are not able to contact any member of the
Godeffroy family nor their archive, if there is one
Sorry for that!
With kind regards

Going to leave the two photos
as they are
You never know ... maybe the 'Johan Cesar' looked very similar
to the 'Pendle Hill' !!
