IN THE BEGINNING!
Part 6
Neither nowt nor summet! (Yorkshire for:
neither anything nor something!) How not to take ship photos - capture part only
of two ships!!!!
Sailing from Middlesbrough Dock - 12 September 1961
PORT AUCKLAND (5282263) Port Line Ltd., London, 11945gt, completed by Hawthorn, Leslie & Co. Ltd., Newcastle, 4-1949. 1976 MASHAALLAH (Kuwait), converted to livestock carrier, 1979 broken up.

8-1961 1975 FINLAND (Netherlands) [from Miramar] 95
COLUMBUS - 01 OSTARA
(and I've just discovered the reason why I hadn't tracked her as still
existing in Equasis was that I had an error in the LR/IMO no. in my database! -
given correctly above as originally recorded in my paper record!)
see also: DANBY CROSS among my favourite ships
... and one I showed earlier, more proper like!
