AXENFELS

[Keelman]

Pictured while moored at the Commissioners Buoys

[northeast]

But not with a Hansa funnel, curious.

Built Bremerhaven in 1962 s the AXENFELS.
5,496 Gross. 7,075 Dwt. 15.5 kts.
Subsequent History:

66 TRIPOLI - 69 PACIFICO - 72 EVI A. - 77 NAXOS TRADER - 78 ASTIR II - 80 ADHARA - 80 ARCO IRIS - 81 AL SAYESTHA

Disposal Data:

BU Chittagong 8.11.86 [Salvan Ltd]
So this dates the picture to between 1962 and 1966 when she changed hands.

The funnel colours are the Atlas Levante-Linie A.G.
First sale in 1966 was to Atlas and she was named TRIPOLI then PACIFICO.
Picture could date from 1966 when she had been sold but not renamed OR she could have been on Charter to Atlas prior to sale.

Atlas and Hansa were based in the same district of Bremen but I cannot find any other link.

I think that Keelman's pictures were taken in March 1965 - that's when I took these pictures.
