Are you sure this is the SS Hoyhead, the funnel seems to have shrunk.

I still think this is the SS. HOY HEAD.I have about six pictures and looking at them they all relate in one way or another to this ship.If one blows this pic up a bit and reduces the contrast a little bit you can see the whole width of the funnel and olso the stays. In John's pic of her the funnel is a very light colour except for the very top so I think it is feasable that it's her. Wonder who the man in uniform is, a light keeper perhaps. Looks a bit like Rackwick man John Bremner but who wid ken its all a while ago noo.
