November’s mystery ship

This month’s mystery ship was supplied by Mr M. Stevenson, of Tockington, Bristol, who wrote: ‘My grandfather, a ship’s captain in the early 1900s, may have been involved with this ship, possibly around Japan. Unfortunately I don’t have much information on his seagoing service, so I wondered if any reader could supply more information about the vessel.’ So can anyone help? What is the name of the ship? Where was the photo taken? Did she have a long career and who was she operated by?
