COMMENT THIS PHOTO(1)
Excellent and dramatic photo of this 232.000 dwt VLCC, which was berthed with her starboard side aganist the port side of "Seawise Giant" (later "Jahre Viking" and now "Knock Nevis") when they were both bombed on 14 May 1988. On the other side of "Seawise Giant" was "Argosy" of 152.000 dtw. All three vessels became total losses, but as we all know, the Giant was repaired and still exists.
