Adding a picture

I have an old color (maybe colorized) picture of the Klipfontein which I can scan in. I am unsure of the copyright as it is framed like a piece of art. It is worth posting here to add an extra image to this page?

Move

The motorship of 1939 was preceded by the steam turbine, 7,063 GRT Klipfontein launched February 8, 1922 (KLIPFONTEIN - ID 3463). That ship was later the Italian Gloriastar and Gloriastella that was bombed and sunk 17 September 1940 at Benghazi. The earlier ship may warrant a later article, thus distinguishing the two is necessary. Palmeira (talk) 13:29, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
