I have a decent shot of her as the EAGLE COURIER... unfortunately the ridiculous standards for photo sizes on here will not permit upload.

She looks a lot like the Potomac, which is still in the reverve fleet @ beaumont. She was a sister of the Yukon, Maumee and the still existing Shoshone, and underwent a similar transplant operation after a fire requiriing a new forward 1/2 to 2/3 of the ship to be replaced. I knew that design (T5-S-12a) was made for private owners also, and it looks like she was one of them also. Others I've seen would be Esso Seattle, and Faith.
