Welcome to the site,hope you have a long stay here with us!
Is this the Ship you are seeking?

S. S. Daghestan. On 20 Mar, 1940, the Daghestan (Master John Rutherford) was bombed and damaged by a German aircraft. At 20.11 hours on 25 March, the damaged tanker was sunk by a coup de grāce by U-57 nine miles east of Copinsay, Orkneys. Two crew members and one gunner were lost.

Well done Tony,that looks like the 1921 tanker.!
...and sorry Vernon,if you see my post-we we were looking for an earlier DAGHESTAN-a tanker as pictured. Your picture is of the 1941 cargo ship !

apparently there were 4 of that name, confusing ? have done the same myself, no 3 was the only tanker.

[Doc Vernon]

Confusing indeed as that Picture and the comments were together making it look as if the comments related to the Ship???
