Not much to go on but pretty certain its not Blyth. Graham might give us a second opinion.

It is certainly not at Hughes Bolcows as it was facing the other way when it was scrapped there. Nice photo though.

Fraid it was another five or six years before I started taking pictures in Blyth but yep definitely not at Blyth.
Was she owned by the same company that owned GALICIA ex CARMELLIA as her funnel looks similar.

This is Blyth. The funnel colours are the same as that of Greek Tsavliris. There was another war time standard ship, SANTAGATA with the same colours, scrapped at Blyth just before the liberty.
