Thank you for your thought on the collier, I could not find any reliable information on her identity so you are most likely as correct as anybody else. Best wishes
It’s interesting to note that in the upper right hand quadrant of the photograph is what seems to be a Proteus Class collier similiar to that of AC-4 USS Cyclops a US Navy vessel reported missing in the Bermuda Triangle the year before. Given the date on the picture, this is likely either the USS Proteus or USS Nereus the Cyclops sister ship.
