Hi Mike,

There are photos here on shipspotting of:
PRAHSU (IMO 5283499) under the names of "KOHIMA" (Elder Dempster Line), "KALAW" (Elder Dempster Line and Henderson Line) and as "PAPAGEORGIS" (Naves Maritime, Greece)

http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/search.php?query=Kohima&x=25&y=9

and "SALAGA", not PALAGA, (IMO:5307568) under the name "BEI HAI 5" (Chinese Govt.)

Cheers.

Peter

Some of PRAHSU (1959) under her original name at http://www.clydeships.co.uk/view.php?ref=11163 (http://www.clydeships.co.uk/view.php?ref=11163)
but, as you mention S/S PRAHSU, perhaps you are looking for the earlier one of 1907.  All I have found is this small one: http://www.theyard.info/ships/ships.asp?entryid=387 (http://www.theyard.info/ships/ships.asp?entryid=387).

but I found none of the 1907 steamship
