"Hemisinus" was known as "The Saigon Flyer" in Shell's Far East fleet. She made more than 60 Singapore to Saigon trips during the Vietnam War.

Easy mistake as it's merging into the mainmast in this photo.

Stan,the aft mast is centre,it so happens it's centred over

Strange. It looks like the the aft mast is on portside in this photo and on starboardside on the B&W photo. One of them must be mirrored.

Glad you liked them, the Airfoto BW's are no problem, but the colour negs are all heavily marked, no matter how ell these old colour negs are stored, the grrebies have started to eat them.
