I'm looking for a photo of J T Salvesen of Grangemouths (no relation to the Leith firm) 'Vestra'.
Details below:

Vestra, General Cargo
1921,1121grt by John Cran & Somerville, Leith (125) as GRANE for Norwegian owners
1928 GOOTE, Dutch
1936 LODEWYK, Dutch
1936 WARMOND, Dutch
1939 VESTRA, J.T.Salvesen of Grangemouth (not the better known Salvesens of Leith)
Arrived at Rosyth for breaking on 29/8/1957.

Can anyone help?

I have an electronic image of a painting of SS Vestra. Details I have are as follows BUT it may it may not be the one you are looking for as it was SUNK 1WW:
S.S. Vestra: Sunk during WW1, VESTRA, 1,021grt, defensively-armed, 6 February 1917, 5 miles NE from Hartlepool, torpedoed without warning and sunk by submarine, 2 lives lost.
See: Merchant Ships Sunk and Damaged 1914-18
Sunk by Imperial German Navy Submarine UB-35 Commander Rudolf Gebeschus.
