Hello Mick, Appreciate the information, the only missing vessel that is mentioned in local history books is the ss.IVESTON? Maybe she never existed or changed name after the Minesweeper was given the same name? I looked through the MHA listings of Lloyds Registers which you mention are now up to 1920, but without success, so I may have to resort to hardback Lloyds Registers of later years. Looking at the ages of the other Consett Iron and Steel Co. vessels, 1910 to 1940 could cover any possible references.
