Looks a bit more like a B&W Print of a "Captain's Painting" but probably quite rare as she did not last all that long.
Built as Yard Number 167 by Blyth SB & DD Co., Cowpen Quay for Walter Runciman's Moor Line.
Launced on the 26th October 1912 and Completed in December of the same year.
4,331 Gross.
Sunk by U39 75nm SWxW of Lizard Head on the 1st July 1915, Barry to Malta with Coal and General.
Lloyds War Loss has her 60 Miles S.W. of the Lizard and also has the Tanker CAUCASIAN built at Deptford in 1899 sunk in the same position.
Possibly by the same Submarine.
U39 appears to have had a "Good War"!!
