The two photos of her as MS Pegasus come from the Walter E. Frost collection in the City of Vancouver Archives. The two photos of her as MS Kavo Matapas were originally posted by Malcolm Cranfield on shipspotting.com and depict her in March 1975 when on time charter to the Swedish/French joint Svedel service to East Africa.

I've not tried to copy the photos.

As you are most probably aware Ron@1 there were two built Pegasus and Prycon? Lovely Ships.

Which reminds me that I did see PROCYON locally under two of her later names.
