From a scanned slide take Sept.-Nov. 1972.

I can't remember exactly where the picture was taken. Probably at a disch. port in the US. I do know it was before end of Nov. as at that time we took her to Baltimore and handed her over to the new Greek owners. After that I was transferred to her sister, the "OMOA".
