She is only freighter I remember, which has 2 funnels behind each other, in my opionion typical for Cunard, as they had so many of those liners with pletny of funnels in a row. Really great photo.

Built in 1948 as SILVERPLANE for Sliver Line, she became ALSATIA in 1951. She went Taiwanese in 1963 as UNION FREEDOM and was broken up at Kaohsiung in 1977.
Her forward funnel was a dummy but it gave her and her sister ANDRIA a look that no other ship had.
