There are two photos of the ANGLO-INDIAN (the first of the name in the
fleet) in the World Ship Society publication THE NITRATE BOATS. There is
an underway view by Alex Duncan, and a berthed view (on the Tyne) from
the World Ship Photo Library. Unfortunately, one-off orders are
difficult to get from either source. Copies of the book, being a history
of Lawther, Latta, are still available. The cost is £9 for UK based WSS
members, so the book will be say £11-£12 through a bookshop. ISBN 0
905617 77 0

In another WSS publication on TURNBULL, SCOTT & COMPANY (now out of
print), the photo of the BAXTERGATE is credited to Turnbull Scott
archives.

Through the secondhand booksearch at http://www.abebooks.com/
there is one copy of NITRATE BOATS available at the equivalent of £7
plus postage (from Canada!), but no copies listed of TURNBULL, SCOTT.
