Hansen, Leslie W.
(photographer)
One of the last vessels owned by W. H. Seager & Co. was the 7,442 gross ton steamer Beatus, built in British Columbia, Canada in 1942 as the standard 'Fort' type wartime vessel, Fort Tremblant. Seen here at Cardiff in 1952, she was sold to J. A. Billmeir of London in 1955 and broken up at Hong Kong in 1963. Seagers ceased trading as shipowners in that same year.
