Description: The Blue Star Line's 'Scottish Star' (1950, 10,174 GRT), built by Fairfield Shipbuilding & Engineering of Glasgow. Her career ended a few years after this photograph was taken. In 1967, while returning from Australia with a cargo of fruit, she was trapped in the Suez Canal during the Six Day War. She remained there until 1969, and was eventually broken up in 1979.
