My late fathers ships please help.

[John Turner]

Hi, my late father was in the Merchant Navy from 1947-1951, I am trying to trace some pictures of the ships he sailed on, I believe they were Blue Star ships but I am not sure, any help in locating these ships would be much valued by myself and my young sons....The ships were called SS Stancourt first sailed on this ship in 1948 after training on Vindicatrix, The Paraguay Star in 1950 and the Fordsdale in 1951, please does anyone know of these ships or where I can locate some pictures/information relating to them, than you so much in anticipation of your help.
