Mohr, Gunther Johan Hendrik Herman. biography pending

Captain Mohr was only in command for one year in 1916. He was torpedoed with the Blommersdijk (I) and then resigned. Still tracing the rest of his career as he shows up in 1935 as sailing as a captain for the VNS (Holland Africa Line)

      and giving the information. It is very difficult to find anything of the old captains that goes beyond their work and sailing. So every little bit of information which helps to complete the jig-saw puzzle is very welcome.

      thank you and best regards

    You’re welcome!
    Correction: Maria Christina Hauber (1889-1934) (my mistake)

  3. Maria Hauber, my great grandmother died 1942, during the 2nd world war, She had been living in Rotterdam with the family of her daughter Johanna Hermina Toors-Zimmermann (1882-1972) and husband Frans Abram Toors (1884-1947) since the late 30’s.
