Originally Silver Isle for Silver Line, a company formed by the J.L. Thompson shipbuilding family brothers John ans Stanley. Built at John Crowns yard, Sunderland, hence John Crown Yard number 234, but the yard had by that time been taken over by the neighboring yard of J.L.Thompson. Doxford 76LBD4 engine, by Hawthorn Leslie, contract 4212

My recall of days gone by was sailing on a rust bucket or two or three. One could hardly equate these vessels with the Cap San Diego which was a reefer come general cargo. As for arrogance and greed, I think those two references are international. Throw in banks as well.

Bucket is somewhat harsh, she was quite a well liked ship as INDUSTRIA.

I have to agree with Capt Bill. The conservatism, arrogance and greed of British shipowners, sticking to outdated designs with which they had for ages "ruled the waves". For instance that no.3 hold: originally meant for bunker coal but carried over as a cargo hold after the coming of the motor ship. Meanwhile "Johnny Foreigner" was coming out with much more efficient designs.

Great pic of an old bucket.
Already outdated when she was launched!
Now, please look at Cap San Diego.
Same age bracket.....
Grtz, Capt.Bill
