There's a message on another forum from Hugh D Curran, who was at some point Chief Engineer of AFRICAN NEPTUNE.

Pioneer Muse was a fine, fast vessel, and one of the earliest with the folding metal hatch covers. Carried lots of military cargo on-deck still left over from the Korean war. They were an outstanding class of vessel.

Units of this class were frequent visitors to Montreal and Great Lakes ports during the 1960s and 1970s when US flag cargo ships from Moore-McCormack, Lykes Lines, American Export Lines, Farrell Lines were trading to the Lakes. All this is history now.
