On the website of Reardon Smith Ships (which owned and operated SS
Norwich City at the time she ran afoul of Gardner Island) is
a grainy photo which seems to have been taken not long after the wreck occurred in late 1929. I can't recall having seen this particular photo before.
Her stern looks in better shape than in photos taken in the late 1930s. The ship's sides just below the bow gunwales are painted white (as seen in the Kiwi photo taken 10 years later), but the distance and photo quality don't show any evidence of a name written there.
