The 4-mast schooner is ELSE ex INGEGERD ex VENUS ex S:T PETERS ex VEGA ex ILMATAR ex LUDVIG THEISEN Built 1919 at Nakskov by A/S Nakskov Skibsvaerft. C/s: SFNO; Swedish reg.nr: 8342. 363/274/500 ts. Sunk on May 28, 1958 after collision with m.s. ALSTERN, Helsingborg of 9780 tdw, south of Abbekas, South Sweden.
I doubt that the second one is/has been Swedish - more like a German or Danish ship.

I´m not sure but the second one looks like the ASSEL IMO 5156684 built Gebr. Niestern, Delfzijl 1931 (185).The picture shows her as the danish ship CETUS. Jan

It is correct, that she has been Swedish - bought in 1937 to Skärhamn, named ILSE and in 1946 sold to Iceland.

@Torsten en Jan, in the name of the Dutch "owner" of the photos I must thank you for the very quick answers and identification of the ships.
The second ship is sure the Dutch built German Assel.
