Blyth Harbour (1911)

The ship in the foreground is Ove Gjedde built 1907. The ship behind appears to be Gustafsber, but on inspection you can see the name is being painted out. Methinks it's the 1870 built Blythwoode, renamed Gustafsberg in 1899 being renamed Gustaf in 1911. The card is post marked for 1911.

.... and the shape of the bow seems to confirm this is not the same GUSTAF featured at: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7132
