This was one of the typical, large Windjammer blue-water sailing ships - built for the long run down under to Australia and New Zealand or to Southern America. These large sailing vessels were still able to competite with the steamers as they sailed without coal (which was costly in 1905 for long vovages) and did not need to stop many times to load coal as the steamers. So in the trade with wool, wheat and other bulk goods they still had an advantage.
