At the time of the picture she was 13,540 g.t, built 1968 and owned by Avanti Maritime Corp., Monrovia (so no great clues there!)
I well remember that T.S.S. trip to view the laid up shipping in the River Blackwater. A whole coachload of people driven by the venerable 'Baz' of Golden Boy Coaches, Blackheath, scrambled upon hastily chartered local fishing boats with a freeboard of almost a whole imperial foot to brave wind over tide conditions out on the estuary 8-) . It's a wonder we all made it back, but there were some wonderful ships out there at the time and it was one of those never to be repeated experiences.
Happy days
