City of Glasgow berthed at Westport 1939

About this image

DescriptionNelson Provincial Museum 325556. Neville Lewers Collection.
Peter Kerr.."From papers Past. The City of Glasgow was in Westport for bunkers in both March and July 1939 and possibly earlier. She was on a regular run, east coast of Canada, Panama Canal, Auckland, down east coast ports to Bluff. presumably south about to Westport, Wanganui, Wellington, Napier, Auckland, New York, Boston and back home to Montreal. A third trip was scheduled but wartime censorship eliminated shipping news but it was likely completed, the east coast of America being safe for shipping at that time and the Pacific was never convoyed to my knowledge."PhotographerNeville LewersDate of Photo1939Map^[1]ContributorMaye Dunn
