Interesting photograph Barry - Remember the Floats well. The West float was used by Clan Line as evidenced by the Clan vessel. I think the "Bluey" in the photograph with the yellow funnel is not on the Elder Dempster run as it looks a bit too "yellow" and has also a thin black top and, from memory, Alfred holt sold a couple of the "A" class to Chinese Mainland who operated them out of H.K., with an off-shore management company, so she may be one of them and in the process of handing over. The grey hull is the give away, the "Monkey Boats" did'nt know that colour existed :-D Also, liked your photograph of the "Kohima" (old Paddy. Henderson ship/name) I believe there was quite a lot of resentment amongst the Henderson men when they were taken over by E.D., as the reckoned they became the poor relations of the fleet.
