Can anyone help me find a picture of SS Beltoy?
There are several web sites that mention it but no picture, the info I have on it is as follows.
Built by Ramage & Ferguson , Lieth Scotland in 1915 for Shamrock Shipping Co Ltd Belfast it had several name changes in
1946 to Min Jen, 1947 to Hai Nu and in 1949 to Aguadulce it was deleted from Lloyds register in 1956.
This is the last picture we need to complete a record of my father's WW2 service, although he was a gunner in the army most of his war sevice was aboard merchant ships.
There is a book called 'The Shamrock Shipping Company' which may have a picture but it appears to be out of print at the moment.
Any help much appreciated

Hi
this is my first day on roots chat and I have come across your post about SS Beltoy. I happen to have a large coloured in photograph of the Beltoy, because my Grand Father was chief engineer on her before and during the second world war.
If you are still in need of a picture don't hesitate to let me know and we can sort something out.

Hello
Nice to hear from you. It was some time ago that I posted the request for a picture of the Beltoy but never managed to find one so I would like to take up your kind offer which will help to complete my dad's service history.
If you can send me a private message with your email address I can reply with mine.
Thanks for taking the time to respond.
