In the 60's, she was reconstructed, adding to both front and back, with new twin engines and christened "Doris E". Point is, the central section of the Doris is pretty old, perhaps pre-war? Anybody know? My Google search didn't turn up significant history prior to becoming the Doris E. Perhaps one of Bruce Heald's book tells more?
