A FAVOURITE SHIP
FORERUNNER
Something of a mystery to me as to why I have never featured this view before!
FORERUNNER at Power Station, Billingham, River Tees, 19 July 1966
FORERUNNER (5112080), Marnacion Cia. Naviera S.A., Haiti (now there's one for you!), 5327gt, built Nakskov 1943, ex Falkanger-65, ex Wartheland-46. 1970 broken up.
I have her down as port of registry Port au Prince, Haiti, but there may be some doubt over that as the owners do seem to be Greek based and I also record a change of flag to Piraeus, Greece, as taking place in 1966. My print is not clear enough to show one way or the other.
