I was trying to find a picture of the Ismore but, as it was her maiden voyage, the search is providing difficult.

Has anyone seen a picture of the ship?

With thanks

Just something that may be of interest related to this post.
I own an Officers Boer War Helmet with the name Cottell written inside.
I have noticed in one of the articles a Major AB Cottell is mentioned. If this helmet did belong to the same Cottell, then there is a good chance that is was present at the sinking of the Ismore.
