As AGHIOS GEORGIOS she had sailed from Casablanca on 28th Feb 1974 bound for Nuevitas, arriving back at Santander on 5th June 1974. Could this have been your voyage? She then loaded a cargo at Tilbury for Havana, returning to Tilbury in December 1974.

Was sailing on this vessel in the 70´s from Cadiz to Cuba and back to Santander, with a nice crew of Pakistanis, Somalis and greek officers, and a french co-traveller. Anyone who has still fotos or remembers that trip together kindly send some infos
