She isn’t ATALANTA although very similar. The break is further aft on ATALANTA and the clerestory between the bridgedeck and the dodger is quite different. Also the portholes in the bow have a different arrangement. This one is a very attractive ship so I’m eager to identify her. The scrollwork in the bow is a giveaway.

She may be the ‘Atlantia’. Square bilge.
