Yes ,the one on the left is the GOLD DREDGER ,though who came up with that name must have a fertile mind as there is no gold to dredge up in Malta... the crew must have suffered some cynical jokes about their vessel name.
keep safe

The vessel at the left of the "unknown" is GOLD DREDGER and is (or was) on sale at Malta. There seems to word (name?) on the aft structure of the mysterious one. It would help if we were able to have all the letters painted on the side.
