Excellent photo,watched her sail up the Manchester Ship Canal as a little boy. I believe she was a cattle carrier, the live cattle were off loaded at the stock yards below Mode Wheel lLocks.
The British Gov bought live cattle ,fro. British Columbia and other provinces, for around 5c on the hoof,.
This is one reason cattle prices were so low and Bankrupted many ranches,and also not being allowed to sell cattle to the USA?
This info from my favourit exam books.
