Charles Lykes at Melbourne. I think she is the only ship I have seen in Melbourne in Lykes Lines colours. She was owned by a German company, Alfred C. Toepfer Schiff. GmbH, flew the Panamanian flag and was ex Nedlloyd Bahrain 93.

At Picton, New Zealand In the late 70s or early 80s. Very unusual to see a Lykes vessel in NZ let alone at such a small port as Picton. Note the yacht on the foredeck.
