One of the pictures in Davidships' link looks a lot at the one on top here.

Yes, Adenanthos, it looks like it is wrong and Thanks, David.

The Miramar note about being broken up is what eliminated the 1905 vessel in my search. The information about its fate is missing from the clydeships.co.uk webpage

So "Miramar's" information about this vessel is not correct (Broken up at Bombay in 1959)

Not quite that old!
Built in 1905 by William Walker at Maryport, England for the Aden Steam Ship Co Ltd. She spent her whole life on the Yemeni coast and trading between there and India.
Withdrawn form service and laid up at Slave Island, Aden, where partial scrapping was carried out by 1963

Highly unlikely that a ship would retain the same name over 120 years or so, but one suggestion might be the following vessel I traced at:

https://clydeships.co.uk/view.php?exact=1&year_built=1869&builder=284&ref=21263&vessel=AFRICA

Built for Sociedad de Navegación y Industria, Barcelona
Launched:27/5/1869 at William Simons & Co. Ltd., Renfrew, Scotland.
649gt.
182' length
An iron screw steamer.
A long shot guess.
