KAROOLA

nice photo but could we know a little more of events met by an atypique class of ship like this one around 1940...

Can't be 1940 Threebs, she was scrapped in Shanghai in 1937. Probably taken during WW1 then?

She was owned by the Aussie firm with that tongue-twisting name: McIlwraith, McEacharn
