To VNS - United Netherlands Navigation Co..


The Jagersfontein (10,574 grt, 528 ft. long), was launched in 1940 as the Elandsfontein.
She was taken by the German Navy to Gdynia, where she sank.
Eventually, she was towed to Holland, renamed Jagersfontein in 1948 and finally completed
for service with the Holland Africa Line in 1950. She was scrapped in 1967.

Interior photos below are from either the Jagersfontein or her sister Oranjefontein.

From a 1956 Holland Africa Line promotional brochure w/fares and selected sailings (see below).
