Seeking Vintage Maritime Photos 1900s - 1950s

[Old Mariner]

(I wasn't sure where to post this, so if it needs moving...do so.)

I am keeping a look out for vintage maritime photos - specifically ones showing the clothing of seafarers.

Right now these are all I have found that are decent:

German Seaman 1929

Hamburg, Germany 1950s

Swedish Fisherman 1920s


Fishermen, Hamburg 1925

The reason I am doing this is for clothing research. I am trying to collect some information and then use this to refine my wardrobe more. I have one site that is really good that I found: https://www.mun.ca/mha/mlc/articles/dead-men/sailors-kit.php

Plus, my "Rund Kap Hoorn" book [in German] has a good list of harbor, winter, and summer clothing.

I am not looking to wear period pieces, but use modern pieces that most closely resemble what was used.

May have some more in stock around, will occasionally take a look.
