Cargo ship at steamer's pier

Barrels of herring waiting to be loaded on to the cargo ship at Stronsay.

Comments:

I think that this is the M.S. Isis; 4,454 tons, originally of the Hamburg American Line - taken over in 1926 by DDG Kosmos.

However, she sank off lands end in 1936 in a storm with the loss of 39 crew.
