I have a note attached to my file for this ship: "Incident late 1975 / early 1976. 3rd officer turned off battery operated telegraph without "FWE" (Finished With Engines), pointers went to full ahead, ship collided with quay, repaired Wallsend 1976." accompanying it is a sketch of the damage that resembles exactly the damage to the fore end of Quebec Star (Halifax Star) in Bartram /South Dock section of the forum. Anyone know anything about it?
