A view on the river Blyth looking up towards the old grain plant and ash dock past the tidal dock, where as the hull was lightened it was moved up.

Some mor photos of Battleship Wharf. First one is of the scrap side looking towards the woodwork shed and engineering shops. Also the end is nearing for a 1940's icon as a Liberty ship is preparing to berth for the last time prior to demolition.

Same timing?

Is there any chance you could zoom in closer on the original of the top one of the ship photos please?  Im just interested in trying to read the name.  I can make out, I think, nine letters in it which does narrow it down but I cannot be certain.  If the date is 1970/71 there is a chance we can I.D. it.

Sorry that is the best I can do. I will get the name and date, I just need to talk to the last sales manager of the yard.

Sadly I have just found out that Rodney has passed away. I will have to find another way.

I think it is the Sangaetano ex Samtrusty built in 1944 GRT 6586 Arrived Blyth 02=05=1972.
