Hi George,

All the references I can find state 1978 as broken up, maybe one of her fleet mates in 1986.

In 1986 I was in Blyth and am sure that I could see her being broken-up. Don't know about the 1978 bit!

Ah, I see what you mean Bob. The forepart is obscured giving the odd appearance.

Hi, Phil:
It looks like one of the Shell Mex/BP estuarial tankers.

Nice photo Bob. Strange looking craft on Denton Slipways in the background. Any idea what it is?
