Sold 1974 to Capo Falcone soc.di.nav.Spa. Cagliari, renamed Falcone. To be broken up in La Spezia 1983

Hi Jan Tore, thanks for your suggestion, but when you compare with Gianpolo's foto of the FALCONE this vessel does not fit.

Markus,
I think she looks Italian built therefore would suggest she is "Falcon", built 1959 by Cant. di Nav Taranto for Atlantic Bulk Trading Corp. She was 10,456 grt and 16,485 deadweight which looks about right.
