Unknown vessel, which I have been unable to find out about, she was 500 tons, so she was a fair size of vessel at the time, with a length overall of 163 feet and a beam of 28 feet.
She was ordered by Hannan Samuel & Company.
She may have been a small coaster that was taken over by the War Ministry as she was on the building berths as the conflict started.
A history of the Ships built at the Henry Robb Shipyard in Leith, Scotland. Also a testimony to the men who built the Ships and to all who sailed in them.
