Many of the photos I've been posting to Shipspotting.com were taken when I was between 9 and 14 years old, using a very indifferent camera, so I apologize for their lack in resolution compared to today's digital product.  Back then, though, I was always overjoyed to encounter a Poseidon vessel, because these were incredibly photogenic ships:  Black, white, and red;  elegant, but purposeful, and immaculately maintained.  Few vessels could photograph so well, and look so good in person, too.

Launched as *Yvonne* 12 July 1945 at Gothenburg by A/B Lindholmens Varv., hull no. 979, for Rederi A/B Disa, Stockholm.  440'11" x 53'1" x 23'1.75;"  3941 gt, 1843 nt;  twin 9-cylinder Eriksbergs Diesels, 500mm x 900mm, twin screw.

Sold 1957 to Poseidon Schiffahrt GmbH, Hamburg, and renamed *Transcanada.*  Later *Good Faith* (1967).  Broken up at Dalian, 1972.

Shown loading grain on the Calumet River, Chicago, Illinois, USA, May 1960.
