Karolinen
Deutsche Seepost Sydney-Jaluit-Yap
On 1 January 1901, Jaluit-Gesellschaft, a German trading company that operated copra plantations within several of Germany’s Pacific colonies, instituted the Sydney-Jaluit-Yap Linie to connect the colonies of Karolinen and Marianen with the main German shipping lines terminating in Australia and East Asia. The line initially followed a route of Sydney-Jaluit-Ponape-Yap-Palau and the reverse.
Following the cancellation of the Neu-Guinea-Zweiglinie (Hongkong) route in November 1901, the terminus of the Sydney-Jaluit-Yap Linie was extended in January 1902 from Yap to Hong Kong.
