sailing ship photograph approx 1915? the Pommeren??

FRAMED SIGNED PHOTOGRAPH OF A SAILING SHIP 

PHOTOGRAPH 21 X 14.5 CM    - FRAME APPROX 31 X 26 CM

A CAPTION ON THE LEFT UNDER THE PHOTO ISNT LEGIBLE TO ME

THE FRAME IT SEEMS TO BE ORIGINAL.  AS CAN BE SEEN SHOWING SIGNS OF CORROSION AND WEAR.

THE PHOTO IS A REALLY GOOD.  SILVERING AROUND THE EDGES OF THE SEA AND A LITTLE YELLOWING AROUND THE REST OF THE PICTURE.  THE FRAME ITSELF ALTHOUGH GRUBBY, IS IN GOOD CONDITION 

THE BOARD ON WHICH IT IS MOUNTED HAS YELLOWED WITH TIME AND SOME DUSTY PARTICLES HAVE FILTERED IN BETWEEN THE GLASS AND PICTURE.

OVERALL THIS IS A GOOD PHOTOGRAPH OF AN OLD SAILING SHIP.  

I did some research on sailing ships going past south africa and found this.   I wonder if this isnt the ship they are talking about.  If you have an interest in maritime history this is such a lovely piece of memorabilia.

"The museum ship, Pommern, a four masted merchant barque and windjammer which regularly operated on the grain trade route between Australia and England during the interwar years, is now anchored behind the museum as a display. . It is very well preserved. It was launched in 1903 in Glasgow, Scotland, under the name Mneme, and was later renamed Pommern.^[10][11][12] It won the grain race twice in the 1930s, and completed the route under 100 days at least four times.^[13][14] It has a record for running for 110 days at a stretch. It is the centrepiece of the museum since 1957 at its present mooring in the western harbour of Mariehamn, after sailing for over 70 years.^[3][5][15] "
