Any idea on this one? Grateful for suggestions.

Cannot improve on quality of image or provide date.

Well after six years, I have finally identified her as the CHARGER built 1928 in Bristol. Her IMO No. is 5426687 and she was originally a tanker - SHELL-MEX 8 - but was converted to general cargo in 1957 when she took the name GOREY. She was broken up on Oulton Broad in 1967.
