Professor Oscar Ulrich and Elsie Vonwiller next to Japanese Consul General and Madame K Inoue on board HNLMS JAVA
Ships of the Koninklijke Marine (Royal Netherlands Navy) including HNLMS JAVA and HNLMS DE RUYTER arrived in Sydney on 3 October 1930. The ships berthed at the Oceanic Steamship Company wharf and Burns Philp and Company Wharf in West Circular Quay. The Sydney Morning Herald (nla.gov.au/nla.news-article16719764) reported the 'unfamiliar spectacle' of the Dutch Navy and further research has also highlighted that HNLMS EVERSTEN was included in the squadron.
On 10 October, the squadron hosted a reception on board JAVA 'as a return for the hospitality they had received while in Sydney'. The SMH reported that distinguished guests were greeted by the Dutch Consul-General Petrus Ephrem Teppema, Madame Carmen Delprat Teppema and Rear-Admiral Kayser. Japanese Consul General K Inoue is pictured far right next to his wife, Madame Inoue.
This photo is part of the Australian National Maritime Museum’s Samuel J. Hood Studio collection. Sam Hood (1872-1953) was a Sydney photographer with a passion for ships. His 60-year career spanned the romantic age of sail and two world wars. The photos in the collection were taken mainly in Sydney and Newcastle during the first half of the 20th century.
