Two distant, but fascinating, views of the EGTON at Sunderland taken by Albert Weller. I presume these would date from May 1963 while she was laid-up following completion in September 1962. It was then that she was visited for the first time by members of the Teesside Ship Society (before my time with them!):

A further selection of photos of the EGTON taken during her lay up at Hartlepool and on the day she sailed for Finland and the scrapyard.

A new, and slightly different, scan of the EGTON at the Potash Terminal in Tees Dock on 13 January 1974.

50 YEARS AGO TODAY the EGTON was the first ship to load at the new Potash Terminal in Tees Dock.

Looking back to Albert Weller's photo, in the background is BRITISH CAVALIER, ready for launching 19/09/1962, quite complete as she was delivered in November.

But we can also see our frequent friend GREENLAND, not launched until 19/06/1962, so maybe EGTON was parked here ahead of her completion date, perhaps to make room at South Dock for LLANWERN, launched by Bartram on 19/07/1962.
