1911, 244grt
Wood, Skinner & Co., Newcastle (174) for the Tyne Improvement Commission
Broken up at Dunston in July 1968

Laid up in the Albert Edward Dock on 5 July 1968. (Can anyone name the Stephenson Clarke hopper?)

I wonder if its the MEGSTONE ex CARGO FLEET No 3??

Completed in 1946 by Fleming & Ferguson Ltd, Paisley.
988 Gross.

1967. Bought by SC. as Cargo Fleet No 3.
1972. Renamed MEGSTONE.
1975 Sold.

She looks fresh from Dry Dock............

The only other one is FALSTONE and she was an ex inland waterways hopper barge converted to a Sludge Carrier at 359 gross, built Holland 1934 and I don't think its her.

Yes, does looks as though she could be the MEGSTONE. See: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=9569

.... or, presumably, more accurately still CARGO FLEET NO. 3!

I'd not realised previously there was such a long gap between her sale from the Tees and her renaming!

Ron

That's her Ron and on the same berth as well.

No doubt about it.

In her usual position at buoys off South Shields as back-up vessel on 17 December 1967.
