Anna Maria.jpg
Built 1947 by the Burntisland Shipbuilding Co. as HELKA for the Euxine Shipping Co. Ltd., London
Sold to Sparko Shipping Co. S.A., Greece in 1967 renamed ANNA MARIA
Laid up at Piraeus in July 1971
Broken up in Greece in late 1972
I believe the ship had recently been handed over to her new Greek owners when this picture was taken at Howden on 27th March 1967. The funnel markings belonging to the Euxine Shipping Co. have not yet been painted out. Perhaps the gentleman dangling precariously on the ships side is engaged in a spot of painting and will eventually turn his attention to the funnel.
