SS Cornishman

This picture was taken in 1934. She was broken up at Hayle.
I am wondering if this is the SS Cornishman (ex Nomadic), a White Funnel cattle carrier, she was scrapped in Lelant/Hayle in 1926.
 
Have you seen any other metal than that of the destroyer hull?
I have a handful to check through yet, but a lot on hand at the moment, it has waited for the last 70 years, it can wait.
 
Nope, but it just seemed a lot of metal and the thought struck me that it may be more than one boat.
 
That is the reason that I took pictures of each section, and the joints between them; I needed to be sure that they were erected in order, also the plating lines and repairs had to be continuous; two section had collapsed, but I managed to get shots of the upper areas, and the oxy burners lines match. The other thing is the potrthole pattern. I was worried that it could have been two destroyers, but no, they run through; I have to identify just where the whale deck comes in.
Nearly there. ::6:
