Can I point out that an identical photo of this vessel can be seen on the Old China Coast Ships website identified as the EASTERN STAR (built in 1951 and sold 1969).

Only too pleased to assist. However, credit really has to go to the authors of the Old China Ships website - Howard Dick & Stephen Kentwell. From their extensive research conducted over many years they have created an invaluable resource for those interested in China coast shipping.

Re: SS LOKSANG Query
I could not find any description about the ship in this photo before you identified it as S.S. "Eastern Star". Really appreciate your help.
