Byreness by Thompson in 1927, a steam ship, easy to distinguish from Aghios Nicolaos in the post on this page.
The ships are similar to look at so it took me a while to work out which was which from mere pictures but at least the four on this page are the same ship, the square topped funnel being the most obvious distinguishing feature compared to the other three motor ships I've mentioned. I needed to be sure to keep my Doxford engine lists accurate so thanks to to Malcom and Michael for these pictures.
