Broompark 1939
This ship carried valuable machine tools, diamonds and 'heavy water' from Bordeaux June 17 1940, she cleared Le Verdon on the 20th. I can't find who may have drawings of the ship. My question is - did this ship have any additional accomodation - such as an 'owner's cabin or a pilot's cabin?
