"Sandy Lake", ex. "Serena", ex. "Segovia", ex. "Prairial", ex. "Berre", ex. "Sandy Lake".Mr. Gerhard Mueller-Debus, wrote to me :
The No. 10 pic might well be the SANDY LAKE (45), owned by Chas. Kurz, before she was jumboized in Japan. The smokestack had been slightly modified, as Kurz got the the famous "T-2 tanker cowl" removed, and the smokestack details on the photos on your Sandy Lake-site look almost identical as the smokestack on yr archive picture in question.
