She was a typical Far East Bluey, UK/Euro ports, Suez, Aden for bunkers, Ceylon, Swettenham/Penang etc., Singapore, Djakarta et al, Japan.

Best Rgds.

Dave, thanks for responding, I hope your dad might have something to share, I am trying to find the ports/cargoes for the Maiden voyage after her sail from H&W. I have some H&W photos inbound from their archives which might be of interest too. I will also try to take a look in the Archive at Liverpool but getting there is an issue as they only open it weekdays and I still work, it would be lovely to hear what your dad might have to say! Thanks again & Best Regards Colin
