I think the "Rheinfels"in your photo is the one built by Charles Connell & Co, Glasgow, in 1941 as "Empire Rennie". In 1942 she became "Frans Hals" under the Dutch flag, in 1946 "Alchiba" and was purchased by HANSA in 1956 being renamed "Rheinfels". In 1968 she became "Peramataris", was laid up in 1975 with fire damage and was broken up at Piraeus in 1979.
