Nice lines for a ship at that time, never seen the ships name on the stern AND each side !
Also note the flag on the bow is at half mast ?? Mike

Seems to be Union Flag at half-mast but there doesn't seem to have been any famous 'national' deaths in that month, perhaps some more local occasion or within Bank Line?
