Just come across this caption = SS Athenia passing Yorkhill Quay 1935, the pump house at the top is about all that is still recognisable today. The Anchor Line's New York steamships Cameronia and Transylvania are visible behind the Athenia. at glasgowpunter.blogspot.com/2017/01/the-sinking-of-tss-athenia-september.html

I am a producer of a documentary film about the sinking of the Athenia, Sept. 3, 1939. Can you tell me if the image of Athenia (No. 16441) is available to license for use in our film?

I would like to license the image of the Donaldson Line steamship Athenia for a documentary film I am producing. Can you direct me to the license holder or anyone who might know who the holder is?
