carl heindrich ferdinand kruse (25 may 1823 – 27 june 1911) captained the schooner "ponkaree" and later a three-masted schooner for t. r. bowman, named "ada and clara" for bowman's daughters, and used on lake albert. (it was later motorised and as a mail steamer operated between milang, narrung and meningie. in 1939 it was renamed "showboat", based at renmark.) he is reported as captain of "little wonder" 1880, but it is quite likely to be a typographical error for "krause".
