She was a non-commissioned vessel, hired by the RN as a mine carrier and a Royal Fleet Auxiliary, therefore she did not use HMS. She was plain s.s. LADY CORY WRIGHT, some references use the hyphen some do not. Built by S P Austin & Co Ltd of Sunderland in 1906 she was 2516tg.

For a photo you will need something like the National Maritime Museum or the World Ship Society collections. For the UC 17's captain try http://www.uboat.net/forum/list.php?f=5 pose a question and they can usually answer.

Happy hunting
