Hi,

built 1886. Vessel sold to Japanese company 1904 and rename Myoshino Maru. Can any forum members give me any information as to what happened to the ship after change of owners,and or a Japanese shipping group that may be able to supply the info that I seek. A photograph wouldbe welcome.
Cheers.
Peter

Be aware that the 2 is not part of her name but refers to the fact that she was the second of the name in the fleet.
There is a photograph of her as a Boer War Transport vessel in the book Glen and Shire Lines by Cooper, Harvey and Laxon published in 2005 by Ships in Focus ISBN 901703-65-7
in Cornell's Kroch Asia Rare and Manuscript collection online image database , Willard D Straight photo album. It's in leaf 5, lower right hand image. You'll have to download the pdf to see the name of the ship clearly ((Miyoshino), Maru Segoshi). (Zoomed in browser view has artifacts).
