Thanks Juergen, I will correct the title & category accordingly.

Loreto is the name of the former GLENADE in the background.

The location is Corral, Chile. The picture on this web page has the same mountain in the background, and the same island (Isla Mancera) as the one behind the ship.

Peter, thanks for your info .
I doubt if this place is Pisagua because the landscape there is much more bare dry desert without any trees.

Ship in the background is the Harland & Wolf built GLENADE for Glen Line, London, launched 15.4.1919, completed 16.7.1919. Length 123,8 m, beam 16,5 m, 6.802 GRT. Sold in 1923 to the Pacific Steam Navigation Company (PSNC) and renamed LORETO. (Since 1951 BARBETA, broken up at Briton Ferry 21.11.52 by T.W.Ward). More: http://www.ecsodus.com/PSNC/fleet/Loreto.jpg The PSNC was severely hit by the Depression of the early 1930s and the entire Royal Mail financial empire collapsed in 1931. PSNC became an independent company again, operated under the control of its creditors, until it was repurchased in 1938 by a restructured Royal Mail Lines. During WW2, US shipping companies, especially Grace Line further increased their influence and by 1951 PSNC was down to 17 ships and by the end of the decade 10 ships, plus two tankers under construction.
Royal Mail Lines (including PSNC) was taken over by Furness Withy in 1965 and by 1984 PSNC had disappeared. PISAGUA is the name of a town in the northern part of the chilean pacific coast, well known for nitre export. Regards Peter
