Cueball, you seem to be able to come up with a lot of information.
Could you please tell me the name of a ship, preferably a freighter, that would have been in the port of Vancouver, B.C. Canada near the end of April 1949?
I could ask the Vancouver Sun Library to look it up in their archives for me — they are very good— but it usually takes them quite awhile to respond. I'm just writing the last chapter of my YA novel (2nd draft), and it would be very helpful to describe the ship as she enters, or leaves, the harbour. Here are some of the names of ships listed in the shipping news in March 1949: Waitomo, Aorangi...
I just went upstairs to go through my research material from the Vancouver Sun and, lo and behold, found an April 30, 1949 reference of "DEEP SEA SHIPS IN PORT." The print is so small and faint, I'll have to blow it up. Back later.

The "Cape Rodney" Br., Agent Anglo) departed from Lapointe Pier, Vancouver, B.C. on April 30, 1949, destination California.
I found several photos of her, but some of them show different ships. Would you have a correct one? Tonnage? Any idea what her cargo would be to Vancouver and then to California?
Many thanks.

Hi Mary. This one is at Vancouver. And can be found on the ShipSpotting site. Do you have the same image ?

Cueball, re. "Cape Rodney's" cargo (#38): I did a little research on Google last night and found that in 1949 British cars were being imported to Canada and soft lumbar exported to USA. Does that sound right to you?

Hi Mary.Will try and find info about cargo, but I can't promise anything. Cape Rodney was used in this movie after she became 'Blue Dolphin'.

Hi Mary. The Cape Rodney #38 is loading Grain. That is what that long gantry is used for.

Cueball, thanks for all this valuable information. I’ve been watching the film on Youtube, and I wish I had retained all my high school French. But the acting is so good, I can follow much of the plot. I’m going to get the book at the public library.
It is fascinating and priceless to actually be on board the ship via the movie. You've made my day, and I can’t thank you enough. I’m going to keep my eye on Turner’s Classic Movies schedule for the next time this film is shown.
Thanks also for the photo and name of the equipment that is used for loading grain. I have no excuse now for getting my book written. Thank you again.
