Good evening all. I was wondering if someone could answer this question for me:
Whilst rummaging through a market stall, I came across a postcard showing a photograph of the above vessel. The postmark is difficult to read, but it looks like 7th July 1911.
I wondered if anyone had heard of the Aberdeen White Star Line and what connection it might have had to the English/American WSL, if any. My initial thoughts were that they are probably different companies, if only because this ship's name doesn't end in "-ic?"
BTW, Themistocles appears to be a small liner, perhaps about the size of Carpathia, although I find it difficult to judge ship's sizes on photos!
Thanks, and regards,
Paul.
