    Default General Cargo (Tanker?)Ship! Bovic !! Brovic!

    Hi All,
    I am wondering if there may be someone who knows a bit more on this please!
    I know that there was a Ship called Bovic that was Built 1892 and later renamed Colonian! For the White Star Line!
    She was also scrapped in 1928 in Rotterdam!
    Now what this question is all about (sorry)
    I know too that there was another G C Ship called Brovic but am not sure on dates Built etc but it was operating about the 1940's onwards!
    It was i gather a Norwegian Vessel (not too sure)
    I have been to the old Ships List but they only have the one built 1892!!

    If there is anyone with more info on this Cargo Ship (possibly Tanker)with a Picture if possible please can you post here!
    Thanking you All in advance!
    Normally i do seem to find what i am loking for! But this one has me stumped!
    Cheers

    Just found this little bit of info,and it could well have been this name !??

    On arrival at Sunda Straits, one Danae class Cruiser and two Corvettes joined the escort. All Singapore bound ships were now ordered to Batavia, Java, the 5 tankers in the convoy were ordered to Palembang, Sumatra. Only one ship, the Nowegian tanker Erling Brovic survived, the others were bombed and sunk in the Banka Straits with heavy loss of life.

    But thats all i can come up with! Still need help!
    Thanks
