An order for The Falkland Islands Company, the Lafonia was a Passenger Cargo Vessel of 768 tons with a length overall of 165 feet and a beam of 32 feet and 6 inches.
She was launched from the Leith Yard of Henry Robb on 18th of August 1931.

The above two pictures for Lafonia are possibly incorrect vessels, the top one is SS Perth and the bottom photo SS Southern Coast, both became Lafonia.
The Lafonia built in Robb's at No 189 in 1930/31 was a smaller vessel named Lafonia and changed to Fitzroy circa 1936, can supply some photos if of interest.
