Thank you Indorita/Neil, I duly acknowledged your comment.
To remind you, I made a very well compliment that the presented pic is exceptional!
OK the spotted ship is being a tanker on what I agree, but still only a standard looking ship's appearance of those very far years.
Indorita on Jul 18, 2012 11:51 (10 months ago)
Hi Jadran, that's not very complimentary of you. Especially seeing as she's a tanker !
Regards, Neil

A very classic standard looking freighter of those very far past years.
The pic is exceptional, but the freighter itself is nothing special considering the does days usual appearance.

I must add that her last flag was Spain, and her funnel is that from CAMPSA
Thanks a lot
