I checked the vessels other fotos and what called my attention are the huge cargohold vents, the skyhigh galley chimney and that the crewquarters are amidship and not at the stern. Quite unusual for a vessel of her builtyear. Someone in the owners office must have had quite advanced ideas... Some shipping companies bulit ships with crewquarters aft until the early sixties.
Thanks for posting Jürgen
