SS Prometheus

[Lammy125]

Hi All I'm new to this site so please accept my apologies if I get it wrong somehow.

I have what only can be described as a scrap book but with poems notes and drawings dating from 1915 1921.

most of the drawings etc are signed and date as being on the S.S.Prometheus and many mention Canada and BC and some is in French and Chinese .

One drawings is By F.D. Robertson ,Purser ,Prometheus, Oct 1921

Any body have any idea on this vessel

Thanks
Mark

Hello Mark and welcome to the Forum. I can only find one reference to SS Pometheus, insofar as she may have been the sister ship to SS Antenor of 1896, have a look at this link:

She was probably the second ship of that name in the Blue Funnel Line -PROMETHEUS (2) was built in 1896 by Scott & Co. at Greenock, 5570grt and a speed of 10 knots. In 1924 she was sold.

I'm sure everyone in this forum would be interested in seeing the whole of the contents of the scrap book.

Please try your best to inject all of this wonderful information into the forum.

I, for one, am extremely interested.

Some more from the Album

Again, an excellent array of great pieces of poety and life.
Some of it reminds me of an autograph albumn my one of my brothers had kept, in the army in the 1950's.
He used to get all kinds of people in the army to enter things in it.
When I was nine years old I read it for the first time. Some of these entries remind me of that.
Things like "Albumns are red, albumns are blue; but in Africa, where I have been, all bums are black" I never understood this kind of humour then.:confused:

I think in the first example in post #12 above, he was rather inebriated as he wrote this, the whisky or beer he mentions, seems to be doing the trick!:)

Keep 'em coming!
