Built by Wm. Doxford in 1952, 1972 sold to Cyprian owners renamed DIAMONDO. Broken up in Spain 1979, didn't have a quiet life while with Harrisons.

Certainly not the Herdsman, she was built in 1947 and had open decks across the front of the bridge and a hatch between the Bridge and funnel.
Herdsman was sold in 1965 to Hong Kong owners as the HOCK AUN, finally broken up in 1973.

I haven't got a photo of Herdsman to compare, I do however have one of the Governor and have to admit that the outline is as my posting, I still have the notebook used at the time and I had it listed as Herdsman, I was quite close to the ship and am puzzled how I could have made such a mistake the names are no where near alike, if you can definitely confirm it is the Governor then I will edit the photo.
We all make mistakes and I am no exception.
