Thank you for posting. The Ferruzzi Group owned a grain elevator near my home along the Mississippi River in the 1970's near Myrtle Grove. Those ships frequented the elevator many times throughout the year. They were one of my favorites to watch. The oldest of the company were the Carlotta F, Eleonora F and Alessandra F. Such great memories.

Hi Arnes, yes, I agree, all with a handsome appearance, and with a 'wishbone' for a main mast!

Thanks, Rick. I found out that the company built four similar bulkers at this yard. I find them quite good-looking!
