To Canadian National Steamships.
The illustrations below are from the five different "Lady" liners:
Lady Nelson, Lady Drake, Lady Hawkins, Lady Somers and Lady Rodney.
These ships were built in 1928-1929 and were all of around 8,000 grt and approx. 438 ft. long.
Three of them were sunk during WW2, but the Lady Nelson and Lady Rodney survived
to continue their Caribbean service after the war until sold in the early 1950s
to carry pilgrims and emigrants for the Khedivial Mail Line of Egypt.
From a 1932 Canadian National Steamships promotional brochure (see below).
There is a photo of the Lady Nelson as the Gumhuryat Misr during the 1950s on the P and O Line website of Michael Ian Byard
You may use my images on another website.
