[Falmouth Docks Postcard]
Engined by Harland & Wolff Ltd, Glasgow, this strikingly good looking motor tanker, suitably enhanced by the painting of her hull dove grey, was at her time of building the largest oil tanker constructed on the River Clyde.
 
Sold to Midland Shipping Co, Monrovia , renamed and converted to a bulk carrier as Dona Maria in 1964 she retained that identity until being broken up in  Kaohsiung, 1979.
