Liner 'Eboe' ties up correctly with the builders yard number 655 of The Dempster Line.
Regarding the location, the ship in the background bears a strong resemblance to Aureol, named after the mountain in Sierra Leone, which she served. And finally, the Aureol appears to be in Freetown with Aureol mountain in the background.

HISTORY OF THE QUEEN MARY LINER.
RMS Queen Mary is a retired ocean liner that sailed primarily in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1936 to 1967 for the Cunard Line (known as Cunard-White Star when the vessel entered service). Built by John Brown & Company in Clydebank, Scotland,
After several years of decreased profits for Cunard Line, Queen Mary was officially retired from service in 1967.
She left Southampton for the last time on 31 October 1967 and sailed to the port of Long Beach, California, United States, where she remains permanently moored.
Much of the machinery including two of the four steam turbines, three of the four propellers, and all of the boilers and fixtures and fittings were removed.
The ship now serves as a tourist attraction featuring restaurants, a museum, and hotel. The ship is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
CONDITION
There has been some careful re-touching to minute paint losses around area of signature and right hand margin edge,which now looks absolutely fine.
The painting has the oroginal solid marine ply backing and is in nice dry condition.
