I understood that the first SD14's were contracted for 1 million pounds in 1967

Hi there!
It's a Unity-type vessel. Already a bit outdated when built but a very nice design.
There's a article in the german wikipedia about these vessels.

Allan, in those days it was already all a matter of subsidies...

But a lot more expensive I would expect. SD14's were built to keep costs to a minimum

Pieter, fully agree about being a better looking vessel, than the SD14. Regards Paul

May be not so successful, but much better looking.

One of the "Liberty replacement" standard ships of the Era, not so successful as the SD14.
