Cape Rodney seen here loading gypsum at Garrucha, Spain for Jackonsville, Florida. A regular run for SSM at this time. Following discharge the ship was in a handy position for any available cargoes from the US Gulf or east coast, the Caribbean or South America.
Seen here wearing the later funnel colours of SSM and a darker shade of grey on the hull. Over the years the shade of grey became progressively darker.
