This picture was taken not too long before she exploded and burned exiting the Arabian Gulf in Feb. 1990. I purchased the photo from Photo Samy, Port Said. They would photograph ships, then come aboard to sell them to the crew. We were headed to the Med. with a full load of Naptha. An interesting article on her re-build at Sembawang S/Y can be found here:
