After all these wonderful suggestions I looked again thoroughly at the name on the bridgeboard and I came to the conclusion it must be GLENDOLA, it seems to be one word after all, confusion because of the letter type used but once this gets to the brain I could read it, also in 1924 the management was changed from AFC to Atlantic Fruit and Sugar Company, that's why the funnel mark is probably being altered.
Now if anyone knows the funnel colors of the 2 companies that would be nice.

Further digging finds that for most of the 1920's, four of the class were operated in the New York-Caribbean fruit trade by the Atlantic Fruit Company, CALLABASSAS, GLENDOLA, GLENDOYLE and GLYNDON.
So far I've been unable to find images of that fleet during that era to compare. Complicating the search is the fact that AFC seemed to be highly variable in their markings depending on the various industry partnerships the entered into.

Hammond Lumber used significantly different funnel marks, two stripes on a black stack, spaced differently but similar to AUSN or BISN.
The only similar marking to a round shape on a white I can find among west coast lumber transporters was the California & Oregon Lumber Company, however even the images of that one are unclear, and they did not have any of the Design 1049's in their fleet.

The funnel is as far as I can see black with a white band with some kind of dark oval, 2 crew members are trying to repaint this (or clean it)

I forgot to mention that the photo is from 1924 or before!

If only Albina Works built these vessels of design 1049 our vessel should be one of them but I can not find a name matching the name on the bridgeboard.
Could it be a Munson SS vessel, they had scheduled sailings to Cuba in those days

West coast lumber ships often ventured into Atlantic waters after the Panama Canal opened. In some cases that even included the wood-hulled steam schooners, a number of which were even lost to fire and storms in the Caribbean or off the southeast US.

North Pacific was one of 17 nearly-identical sister ships built by Albina Engineering & Machinery Works of Portland, Oregon to a layout that became known as Emergency Fleet Corporation design #1049. They quickly spread into service on US seaboards, and by 1930 at least one was even under European ownership.

Three letters before a second name on the bridge name board... and two men aloft painting the funnel with all that smoke! No Elfin Safety in those days....
