Description:

Built by Goole Shipbuilding & Repairing Co. Ltd. (yd. 504) for Wm. Cory, she was delivered in February 1957 as Corbeach and traded as such until 1971. Shortly after this photo was taken she was renamed Revilo. In 1975 she was sold and renamed Romney, then Assos and in 1978 Astronaut. She was scheduled to be renamed Souda Bay in 1979 but sank on 13 December 1979 in position 14.39N, 24.30E after developing hull cracks whilst on a voyage from Larnaca to Beira
