Ship No’s 187 & 188.

Given the allocated names of No 187 and No 188 both of those vessels were Train Ferries ordered by the Santos Dock Company in Brasil.
With both vessels at 335 tons each and with a length overall of 164 feet and beam of 29 feet and 6 inches.

I have been unable to find out any more about this order.
