Looking for ship photo

[army historian]

I am trying to locate a photograph of the SS Jason 1904. Prior to March 7, 1914, the steamship Edna was known as the Jason. She had Norwegian ownership and registry. In 1912 she was equipped with a radio. By charter agreement she came under the management and control of a national of Germany named Friedrich Jebsen, of San Francisco, California. She was renamed SS Mazatlan. She was sold in 1915 and renamed Edna. She was captured by H.M.S. Newcastle in 1916. Any help would be appreciated. Please note: there was more that one SS Jason.

Presumably you're not after this SS Jason, a photo of 1950, available for £1:

Not a photo, but this is interesting:

"30 Apr 1914. We expected some refugees at 4:30 p.m. by train. The rebel afraid that we would capture it and go inland. The refugees got some mule teams and started for Topolobampo. About 15 miles out they were held by some rebels because they had no passport. We sent a flag car with hand car died on to each end outside the town about seven miles to meet them, bring them rest of way.
