Donaldson Atlantic Line's LISMORIA & LAURENTIA

[kohl57]

My next project for my "Wanted on Voyage" blog is LISMORIA and LAURENTIA of 1948-66, Donaldson Line's last passenger ships.

I am not finding too many photographs of these from the usual sources (including here), especially of LISMORIA (identified by her lattice work radar mast), and if they exist, of LAURENTIA when she was initially in service c. 1948 as a twelve-passenger cargo ship, photos of them being refitted at Barclay, Curle etc.

Should anyone have photos or material on these they are willing to scan for use in this project, I'd be most grateful as would, I am sure, readers.

I think they were marvelous little ships and extremely popular throughout their 18-year careers yet quite under documented as is so often the case for smaller, less pretentious vessels.
