Suley

Lowry mentions a ship called Suley in his short story 'Hotel Room In Chartres'; "he was joining all his ships once more, going from Exchange to Prester to join the Suley.." (Psalms Pg. 23). It is possible that Lowry mis-spelt the name of the ship which is common throughout Lowry's work.

Possibly a Norwegian motor Ship, cargo / motor ship, general cargo, 4402 gross tonnage built by Kockums Mekaniska Verksteds A/B, Malmö, Sweden for Erling H. Samuelsen Rederi II A / S (Erling H.
