Many thanks for your fast responce, Yes, another look at the original and I agree that it is K DOGAN.
I must have seen her just before she was scrapped, is Halic near Istanbul? This could be the very last photo of her.

Being as this could be her last photo I will try to get a better scan but the original is badly faded unfortunately.
We were moored on the Golden Horn during our cruise in 1972.

I remember the ANGARSK and others but they were best part of forty years younger, I will have to see if I have any photos of them.
