What unusual/strange set of masts:
No.1 mast is of similar looks like the N/S Savannah type masts;
No.2 & 3 masts have some kind of big platform on top of them;
No.4 & 5 masts are of their own looks (*semi-similar* to 2 & 3);

: a very interesting photo to be seen; many thanks frtrfred & brgds /jadran

C4-S-1t cargo ship, built originally for Pacific Far East Lines as SS China Bear in 1962. Subsequently sold to Waterman Lines and renamed. Waterman was a Southern company, from Mobile, Alabama. Consequently, they named many of their ships after Confederate heroes, such as "Jeff Davis", "Stonewall Jackson" and "Robert E. Lee".

I recall seeing this ship anchored at a port in Yemen in 1977. She didn't look quite this scruffy, but pretty close.
