This is most likely one of the Southern Railway cross channel ferries - the Isle of Sark, Isle of Jersey or the Isle of Guernsey. These three distinctive two funnel ships operated between Southampton, the Channels Islands and St Malo.
The vessel is probably undergoing a refit, returning it to civilian use, after its war service. The commemorative plagues (left) from all three vessels are housed at the National Railway Museum in York. Jersey was a hospital ship.
Another of the three is on the left hand side of this picture, already returned to passenger service at the Southern Railway ferry quay. '
