The Herzogin Sophie Charlotte has
been making record trips around the
| world recently The last trip of the
vessel from Bremen to this port was
made in 101 days. From Honolulu to
Sydney the voyage was made in thirty
days and from sydney to Bremen in
rs days, records every leg of the voy-
age. This was an average of about
eight knots an hour.
The Charlotte created a Juror in
Sydney harbor on her departure for
Bremen by sailing eout through the
harbor to sea with every sail set and

was considerable shipping at anchor
at the time. The Town and Country
Journal of Sydney of February IA, 1905,
contains a supplement sheet with a pic
ture of the Charlotte under full canvas

event as d feat of seamanshiD" and
