S.S. Trontolite (Yard no. 11) Probably shown around the beginning of 1942. The white portions of the bridge house are probably recently installed war modifications, including a gun position over each bridge wing and a strengthened or armored pilot house. She had been delivered to the EFC and simultaneously reconveyed to Standard Oil of New Jersey on 2 January 1918. Photo No. None Source: www.aukevisser.nl/others/id535.htm |
