The MV Kipawo at Courtenay Bay in Saint John, NB.[1] with the distinctive towers of the Wiggins Orphanage visible in the background.[2] This location, immediately next to the Saint John Shipyard, and the new look to the vessel suggest the photo was taken during trials or the handover of the ship after its launch in 1925. Other locations considered were Conception Bay, Newfoundland during WWII suggested by a possible Naval ensign on the mizzen-mast and the WWII British Naval System "Y" pennant on the fore-mast that indicates she is in Yard service as she was tending anti-submarine nets in the harbour.[3]

Note the crew on the poop deck just like in the other photo we have of the crew portrait. Note also, the Red Ensign off the rear mast and the DAR flag on the centre mast. |
