Description:

In August 1966 the tanker London Valour completed discharging a cargo of grain at Genoa and reverted to carrying oil. She loaded oil here at Gela in Sicily. We arrived during the night and when I got up in the morning this was the view from the bridge. The photo was taken around 7:30 am, the air was still cool and it is one of those time machine photos that transports me back over the years to when I took it. I know nothing of the NORA other than that she appeared to be a very pretty small tanker, so any info/corrections will be appreciated.

Thanks Rick. I love this photo, it was taken on one of those 'Good to be alive days' that if you are lucky, you never forget. Great to get some info on her after all this time.

Beautiful & serene image David. Your vessel was built in 1953 by Cantieri navale Felszegy, Muggia, Italy (49) launched on 12 July 1953 for Italian owners. 1,507 g.t. & 2,240 dwt., as:-
'Nora' and it appears the vessel spent her entire life under this name, before being reported as having been broken up at Augusta, Sicily in 1984, but later reports stated she was a hulk there.
There is a very nice article on her construction & launch, with photos on the following link, scroll down to the article which is approximately one quarter down.
Vessel has IMO of 5254759.

Regards, Rick
