Hi Jim, Further to Ron's post, Blue Star Line's KINGSWOOD was a small meat carrier, used on the local River Plate trade and would have been unlikely to have made a round the world voyage. This was probably Constantine's tramp steamer KINGSWOOD. Built 1914 by J. Readhead & Co, South Shields as the ONWEN for W & C. T. Jones, Cardiff, she was sold to Woolston SS Co, Cardiff in 1918 and in 1920 was sold to Rumney SS Co, Cardiff and renamed RUMNEY. 1924 purchased by J. Constantine SS Line and renamed KINGSWOOD. 1928 sold to Finland renamed HOGLAND. 1942 Torpedoed and sunk by French submarine RUBIS on voyage Norway to a German Baltic port with iron ore.
