Member Ron Hamilton lists her as one of his ships, possibly may be worth a message or mail ?

Not sure you've already got this ,but found this whilst researching the ship.
U-BOAT.NET SITE


The ship was only 15 months old when torpedoed,so I guess photos of her are rare.
However there is a picture on WRECKSITE .EU which shows the s.s. KINSALE HEAD,a typical U.S.-built N3-S-1 type coastal vessel same as the ASHMUN......

That indeed is the 'Kinsale Head' -the same type of build as the ASHMUN J.CLOUGH.

Lots of heads working together here to good effect-as usual !
