Oh my, what a beauty...!

Worked on her briefly in 1967. Cargo was cotton and NASA equipment delivered to Australia. Have a copy of a photo with Sydney Opera House in background.

Many thanks Peter

reveals that the reason for her being renamed CUMULUS in 1977 was for a time charter back to Transatlantic for around one year, following which her owners did not go the expense of renaming her again!

No doubt rebuilt along the lines of the Kirribilli.

Superb way to start Sunday !

A good looking Swede.

From early photographs it seems that the modern cargo handling equipment was added later in her career. Although I'm sure it was more efficient but to my eye it looks incongruous compared to the more usual masts and derricks that she was built with.

How beautiful when compared to any modern boxboat, but hardly as efficient! mrdot.

Nice pic of a great old timer Malcolm ty

What an advanced design for a vessel built in 1950!!! At that time in other countries they were still building general cargo ships like before the IIWW with split bridge and engine housing. Funnels like monster pipes without any aestetic. Not to think of electric cargo cranes...
With this ship Gotaverken and its architects were well ahead of time!!
