S.S. MOSS ROSE, glass negative

Hansen, Leslie W.

3/4 Starboard stern view of the S.S. MOSS ROSE, c. 1936

Richard Hughes was born at Gronant in Flintshire in 1858 and in 1884 he commenced business as a shipowner in Liverpool, acquiring the steam coaster Primrose. Most of his subsequent vessels were given names that incorporated the word 'rose', and his firm came to be known generally as the 'Rose Line' The 739 gross ton Moss Rose was built at Hardinxveld in the Netherlands in 1930; she is pictured here sailing up 'the Drain', c. 1936. Sold to Greek shipowners in 1960, she was later fitted with a diesel engine before she was eventually cut up at Perama in Greece in 1973.
