Interesting photo. Recognized the shape from the Koch even while rolling along fast in the board.

As 'Guardian Carrier' she was used to distribute cement around the New Zealand coast from Westport, on the South Island west coast.
Converted to bulk cement carrier in 1963, when she was renamed from 'Ethel Everard'.
Sold in 1974 to St Lawrence Cement Co, Toronto, and renamed 'Robert Koch'.
She met her end off Oswego, New York, in October 1985.
