S.S.Elswick Park.

[youngs]

Hello folks, I've just joined. I've been searching for a photo of an old ship S.S. ELSWICK PARK, who finished her career sunk as a blockship on D Day. Would any of you erudite people out there have,or know of, a photo of her? If so,I'd appreciate it perhaps to download. She belonged to the ELSWICK STEAMSHIP COMPANY. Many thanks for any help, youngs.   :-)

Dear Steve, many thanks for your reply, I've looked at all the links but sadly I still can't find a photo of the ship. It'll turn up in the end if I keep at it long enough. Thanks for your help and interest, youngs.   :-?  :-(
