High-dispersion blue spectrograms and BV photometry of the high-latitude F-supergiant HR 4912 = HD 112374 have been obtained. As a result of the curve-of-growth analysis, it is concluded that it might have the parameters of a F-supergiant with slight metal deficiency (Fe/H = - 0.07). The latter depends much upon the derived temperature of HR 4912; hence, special attention is paid to this problem. The blue spectra and new BV photometry made it possible to obtain four independent estimates of the temperature - better than in the previous two studies of HR 4912 in the UV and red regions. Despite all recent efforts in a wide spectral region, the status and origin of HR 4912 remains as yet not established, although it seems to stand much closer to the stars of the UU Herculis type.
