SS MORMACDRACO - From the fleet of More Cormack Lines - Nyw York.

Phantastic.... In 1981, this vsl was loaded General cargo in Vitoria Port - Brazil, I was Agent from the Wilson,Sons company, who did the attendance at that time.
All others such Mormaclinx, MormacVega,Mormaccargo,Mormacaltair.... loaded a lot of coffee from our port, and they start a " Revolutionary
Method of Transportation " Safety-Steel-Boxes, called CONTAINERS....nice to see that part of History still exist.... even in another configuration.....
Regards to all...

Thanks so much for the comments and information, all.

To catch her as-built, see http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=1257596

Even apart from the paint job and the radar antennae, this ship still looks a lot different than it did in 1969. In the early 1980s four of these ships (Mormacdraco, Mormacargo, Mormacvega and Mormacaltair) were lengthened and converted into a cellular container ship.

Bob,
As a matter of facts, with her masts and derricks was a beauty!
Steve,
Je viens de t'envoyer un PM.

AMAZING! I photographed this ship 42 years ago as MORMACDRACO.
I did not realise it was still actually going (I thought it was rusting away somewhere up some river in the US reserve fleet.
I am now trying to find my slide of MORMACDRACO, to scan and post it.
It looked a bit different in 1969!

That is a really nice picture. Thanks for sharing.

Steve :)
