Re: s.s. Benguela

I found a card in my deceased aunties possessions...It has the real silver leaves of CapeTown on one side (not sure what tree this is) ...with an original painting of the SS Benguela on one of the leaves. I know my aunt was born in 1912 and as a little girl her widowed mother took her to South Africa - Pilgrims Rest. The mother married a Welsh miner there (and divorced him- it was never discussed) I have visited the miners grave in Pilgrims rest...
