Identification
[edit]
Might be the Empire Flag (later SS Inchearn).[1] The deadweight matches the caption in the photo, and details seem similar to the later photos. Seems like there were many sister ships though, as it was a "standard type B cargo ship", so maybe there are some from other yards too not mentioned.
- Empire Stronghold[2] also had similar dimensions. A couple of details on the gunwale seem different in the later photo, but there could have been modifications since WWII.
- Empire Standard[3] also has the same dimensions, built at the same yard.
- Empire Prospect[4] also similar, but gunwale seems different.
- Empire Morley[5] also similar, but photos hard to compare.
- Empire Mandarin[6]] also seems very similar -- gunwale details match.
- Empire Lady[7] also close.
- Empire Farmer[8] also close.
- Empire Claymore[9] ... not sure.
- Empire Asquith[10]
- Empire Abbey[11]
