Stan,
Yes, your DANBY became the ASTRO.
See link to Teesbuilt entry in George's post above.

Ron,
Yes, I know the DANBY became the ASTRO but I am wondering about the photograph.
I am told this is the DANBY but I can't quite make out the name. I would suggest this might be the ASTRO.

Stan,
Sorry I misunderstood your query.
The original seems to be the Fotoflite view which they positively identify as your ASTRO at
http://www.fotoflite.com/index.php?page ... &Itemid=20(You will then need to search from Astro!)
The image you have seems to be copied from
http://www.buques.org/Monografias/Old%20steamers.htm (halfway down page).

Ron,
Thank you for that and sorry for the misunderstanding.
You have confirmed she is the ASTRO.
As you can see from my first posting, my dad was on her (DANBY) many yonks ago!
