The distinctive 'JL' funnel mark on this vessel betray its owners as J. Lauritzen of Copenhagen . The Chilean Reefer, built in 1936, was one of a number of refrigerated motor vessels built for Lauritzen in the late 1930s to carry fruit from the Mediterranean and West Africa to northern European ports. This view of the 4,360 gross ton vessel was taken at Cardiff, c.1937. (Source: Shipping at Cardiff: Photographs from the Hansen Collection 1920-1975 by David Jenkins, 1993.)
