A guess: auxiliary minesweeper, probably Aussie. Picture looks older than WWII.

Looks like a paravane on the stern.

Is it the RN ASW Trawler sunk by a U-boat in US waters with all hands? (can't remember her name)

Edit: HMS Bedfordshire

I don't see any ASW weapons on her (no fantail ashcans).

One of a gazillion similar vessels, often of War-I vintage. Many were refered to by the RN as Castle class trawlers. Lots of them in AE.
