Thanks Kyle, have altered title to read ELIANA and JAGAT PADMINI so as to concur with your alteration to the IMO .Season Greetings.

I have edited with IMO for ELIANA since there are no other images on site. There is already one of JAGAT PADMINI.

Regards,
Kyle, Bulker Admin

Phil,something wrong with this IMO of the wine tanker ELIANA it is an 8 digit number, should'nt it be a 7 digit one?

At that time a maltese wine merchant used to import wine from Sicily and then bottle it locally, could be that in this photo she was on her way to fill up in Sicily or Italy.In the late 40s wooden schooners were used but I think th e wine was imported in wooden casks and used to be unloaded in Marsa.

Emmanuel,

Yes Phil, on closer scrutiny she is a small coastal tanker,I wonder what is her history and eventual fate.

Eliana looks like a tanker, not a general cargo ship.
