There were five near-sister cargo vessels built by Nicolò Odero fu Alessandro at his shipyards for himself as shipowner in 1921-25:

LIDO, Odero La Foce, yard no. 235, 1144 tsl, 63.5 m, delivered 6.1921, in 1925 to Ilva Alti Forni e Acciaierie d'Italia as ORIONE, scuttled Civitavecchia 15.1.1944 while in German hands: I'll post a sketch by Schmelzkopf tomorrow.

STURLA, Odero La Foce, yard no. 236, 1166 tsl, 63.2 m, launched 26.1.1922 and delivered 1.1922 to Giuseppe Messina Tabuso, Genova, on 26.6.1928 to the Regia Marina, 31.1.1929 renamed TRIPOLI, 1930s management by SA Coop. di Navigaz. Garibaldi (mercantile flag) , sunk by HMS SARACEN 6.7.1943. A sketch/picture of STURLA of Ignazio Messina is to be found on naviearmatori.net, but I'm not quite sure she's the same ship.

BORZOLI, Odero Sestri Ponente, yard no. 314, 1119 tsl, 63.9 m, delivered 4.1923, in 1929 sold to A/S Det Nordenfjeldske D/S, Trondheim, as SVERRE SIGURDSSON, mined 10.6.1940 in Norway.

MULTEDO, Odero Sestri yard no. 318, 1203 tsl, 64.0 m, delivered 19.12.1923, in 1929 to A/S Det Nordenfjeldske D/S as TRONDHEIM, mined 7.3.1947 in Norway.

PRIARUGGIA, Odero Sestri yard no. 241 (?), 1196 tsl, 63.8 m, delivered 12.1925, 14.12.1933 grounded in heavy seas at San Pietro in Volta, later salved, 1938 to Tigullia SAN, 1939 to Ignazio Messina, Genova, sunk at Benghazi 28.11.1941. A sketch/picture can be found on naviearmatori.net

Maybe Pinin. These are my data:

 

Dislocamento: 2.460 tons (Jane's Fighting Ships 1938); 2.461 tons (Almanacco Navale 1937; confirmed on Almanacco Navale 1941 and Office of Naval Intelligence 202 - Italian Naval Vessel); 2.698 T (F. Bargoni "Tutte le navi militari d'Italia 1861 - 1986" and Giorgerini e Nani, "Almanacco Storico della Navi Militari Italiane 1861 - 1995")

 

At this moment I don't have found any image but close to the Almanac's data, as you can see, there is this profile:

Dislocamento: 2.698 tonnellate is wrong?

No, Pinin, it's the usual spread (a familiar word nowadays, isn't it?) between displacement and gross register tonnage (tonn. stazza lorda): the former, used for naval units, is invariably larger than the latter, in use for merchant shipping (hopefully Alagi won't read this, or else I'll be sanctioned again... :s68: ..):

Best compliments for the newly used Bargoni, a very good source.... :s20: Even if a friend recently sent me 10 pages of errata corrige (!)

Thanks all. Corto Maltese that profile seems to be the Sturla 1884 with 2 big respirators behind the bridge. Unless it is a big coincidence.

I see you looked her up on naviearmatori. Actually, I had the same doubt. Wait for the ORIONE: she is more or less a flush-decked ship.

You are right Pinin: I don't believe in coincidences :s03: .

My old friend nearly the end of our work concerning the Almanacco Storico (revision of technical data) I think that there is only one truth: all the historical sources are full of errors :s03: :s02:
