One of three sister-ships built for Waterman in the mid 1970s: Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee and Sam Houston. They operated a commercial cargo service between the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts and ports in the Indian Ocean, via the Suez Canal.

I saw one in 1999 or 2000 in Suez anchorage, the Stonewall Jackson, but after that, never saw another one, I think she was a sister of this one.

My how these 'lash' ships have gone from the marine scene! mrdot.
