THX Denodon, and I've already seen it, but we need the underwater hull also which is not on that image.

That might be hard to find. Your best bet would be with the archives from her builders Vickers-Armstrong at Barrow-in-Furness. Not sure if they'd have survived but that'd be your best bet.

Australian Commonwealth Government Lines, was in 1924 operating five new passengers ships, the so called 'Bay' class (SS Jervis Bay being the most famous one, see above), and to complement the service had two cargo ship built at the Cockatoo Island Dockyards, Sydney, the two ships had a very large refrigerated cargo capacity, were large and fast, so they could keep up the service alongside the 'Bay' ships.

In 1928 the company was wound-up and the ships transferred to the British registry under the White Star lines and subsidiaries the Aberdeen Lines. In 1932 the Ferndale was wrecked on the Algerian coast, the Fordsdale soldiered on now under the Shaw, Savill & Albion flag until 1952, and was scrapped in 1965

The next ship and last for 2012 is the Dutch Prins Casimir, built in 1955 for the Maatschappaij Zeetransport/Oranje Lijn. The company was trading between Western Europe and the Great Lakes.
