Im not sure it was the Cliffs Victory. The aerial view was from the stern end (where the tug was located, and there may well have been a tug on the bow end I couldnt see), and there was no lettering on the side, although the vessel appeared to have a small white stripe running the length of the hull, similar to the paint job the Inland vessels had at the time. The area on the stern end where the rear superstructure would be was solid and square, almost looking like all they had to do was put it on (although Im sure thats not how it was done). I found the shot of the Cliffs Victory very interesting as well. Thanks much.
