North Devon
Hi Deep Sea.
I have just posted a lovely painting of the North Devon that was on our Vindi web site here in Sydney.
I believe she was the ship that Reg Earnshaw was killed on. Can you confirm that please.
Cheers Des

Having not seen the painting you refer to, I don't know, but you can compare it to the photo from my book of the SS North Devon.
