Based on the ‘’Hansa A’’ German wartime standard design, this ship already looked obsolete when completed in 1947 as LENS. Renamed DIONÉ in 1948, she sailed for 21 years in the SNC fleet before being broken up in October 1969 by J Boel & Fils at Temse, Belgium – six months after this photograph was taken as she left Rotterdam on 29 April, 1969
