Attached to the Columbus Line, the vessel has Hamburg as its home port. She carries a crew of 30 Germans, and has facilities for three passengers. A small but compact ship, she was built in 1959. On her final trip from the port, the Alexander von Humboldt will carry 1400 tons of meat and 220 tons of wool to America, before embarking on her unknown new route Her master is Captain J. Karennke. The vessel sailed for Dunedin yesterday, and thence to Auckland, where it is expected some passengers will embark.
