O.M. Thore's Swedish-flag general cargo ship VICTORIA as shown while upbound on the St.Lawrence River off Verchères in May 1964.
She originally started life in 1930 as VASAHOLM for Svenka Amerika and was acquired by Thore in 1954. She left Swedish registry in 1965 and went Greek first as STAVROS (S.A. Daifas) and then as PRIAMOS in 1967 (Kostogiannis) before finally being sent to the breakers at Istanbul in March 1973 after a career spanning 43 years. Those were the days!!!

A fine underway shot of Port Line's Port Quebec (6,294) at Port Adelaide in the early 1950s, an image preserved on a glass plate. She was built in 1939 by J.L.Thompson & Sons, Sunderland, was requisitioned incomplete by the Admiralty, converted to a minelayer by Furness Ship Building, Haverton Hill for the Royal Navy and commissioned as HMS Port Quebec. In 1943 she was converted into an aircraft maintenance repair vessel by John Brown & Co. at Clydebank and renamed HMS Deer Sound. She was finally delivered to Port Line in December 1947 and took up her intended name. Surely one of the few ships to have gone through four ship builders prior to  delivery to her owners in that her conversion to her intended role was done by Swan,Hunter & Wigham Richardson at Newcastle. She served the company on the Montreal/Australia/New Zealand (MANZ) service until she went for scrap at Keelung where work commenced in December 1968.

Three islands, split superstructure, straight stem and counter stern - they don't build them like that anymore. J.Larsson's Havsbris (2,818grt) was built by Eriksbergs, Gothenburg in 1929 and lasted 41 years - a remarkable career. This shot was taken on the Derwent River, Hobart 13 November 1952.
