When built as HADRIAN in 1947, she belonged to Hilmar Reksten of Bergen. In the early 1970's he became one of the world's largest private tankship owners. Later it all collapsed.

Thankyou Gentlemen. I now look forward, probably next winter, to scanning and posting the photographs from my 1971 Kiel Canal trip. Best regards. Malcolm.

Thanks Malcolm for sharing with us pictures of interesting ships. In an age where shipowners were still able to have ships built taking into account there own experiences. Not like today where you have the impression that designs are made by the container bridge designers and soulless engineers.
