At this time the Dutch Zeeland Ship Company ran mailboats from Flushing (Vlissingen) to Folkestone. This appears to be one of their ships. Either the Mecklenburg or Prinses Juliana. |

Strange that its berthed facing the shore. Most pix have the vessels seaward and this was certainly the custom since WW2. |

For a photo dated 1920 this can be none other than the "Oranje Nassau" (1909-1952) |
