  Viggo Conrad OSTENFELD, 25/5/1901 - 27/2/1962 was born in Gympie, Queensland and shifted with his family to live his early years in Sydney. Chose a career at sea, serving first as a seaman in square rigged sailing ships and then, after obtaining his qualifications as an officer, in the steam powered ships of Lamb and Company. When Mr Lamb died after his company was taken over by the Union Steam Ship Company he transferred with others of Lamb's officers to that company but soon after left it for the Anchor Shipping and Foundry Company of Nelson, N.Z.. After marrying in New Zealand lived in that country, first in Gisborne, then in Greymouth and finally in Nelson. He was appointed Harbour Master at Nelson for part of World War 2 and became a Captain in Anchor Company ships transferring to the Golden Bay Cement Company when that company started to obtain its own ships. The first ship was the "Golden Bay", a bulk cement carrier of revolutionary design, being self-loading and discharging. He supervised its construction in Dundee, Scotland and also its shake-down trials which were complicated by many unforeseen pitfalls. This task took him away from home for nearly a year. He then remained at sea until his death of angina at the early age of 61. He was a cultured man with many interests and was a keen participant in the sports of golf and lawn bowls.
