There was 3 sister ships, Castilian, Lancasstrian, Almerian.
Nice ships to sail in, my last voyage to sea was in the Almerian. Feb 1960. Thanks for the Pictures, Cheers Bill Wood

ANATOLIAN changed names more frequently than today container ships! Built in 1955 she sailed as ANATOLIAN until 1963 when was renamed CITY OF DURHAM but only for a year. In period 1964 to 1966 she sailed as ANATOLIAN. During 1966 she was chartered and sailed as ASCANIA. Renamed again ASCANIA in 1968 and sold to Greeks same year.

Many thanks for putting so much effort into identifying this ship. The name on the bow is completely unreadable to me but it does appear to have about the right number of characters in it to be the City of Leeds.
Regards,
David
