Cook, Hohn Winter, on board SEETEUFEL with a civilian man

This photograph depicts the cook of the two-masted schooner SEETEUFEL, Hohn Winter, opening what appears to be a can of food, with an unidentified man seated next to him. According to the secret files kept on the von Luckners by the Commonwealth Investigation Branch (CIB), Winter 'is a typical cook and is pleasing in manner'.
