ship info.

Looking for any information…specifically where this ship was during the year of 1941. Like a itinerary I guess you would say, I have looked around a bit online but not had much luck. Not sure really if this should go here or in another thread also. The ship during ww2 was called Empire Almond, it was six thousand ton plus freighter that was registered in Hong Kong. It was built in Taikoo Dockyards and the yard number was 297. Other then this i have not been able to find anything.

thanks that is very helpful…the only other thing I can think of would be…what did it look like? I know most cargo ships and a shape that didnt vary much, but I haven't been able to find any pictures despite this ship only being scrapped in the 70s.
