STOREBROR (TID 180)

[Poyntonian]

Having a profile somewhat different from her original, here's the former TID 180 (YN 299) of 1946 as STOREBROR at Southampton, 9/7/2005.
1946: CEMENT 7, A/S Christiana Cementfabrik, Norway.
1958: KRANFJORD, Risor Traemasse-fabrik, Norway; later Kaarbos M/V A/S, Norway.
1964: STOREBROR, B P Norse Marine Ltd (Jan Ellingsen), Southampton.
Had a major re-build & modernisation in 1969, and I believe she is still working in the Solent.

Lovely little vessels their Steam Compound Engines used to run like little Sewing Machines, certainly a Value For Money Builds some lasting a lot longer than envisaged.
The T.C.C. Lackenby T.I.D. was looked after by an Engineman who was, whilst I was there a “Three Badge” Stoker/Mech who had been on “HMS Loch Killisport” out in the Middle East and called it a day under request of a higher authorities, one tall two small in my case as indeed most of us did eventually, he was a canny lad certainly knew his stuff but was not allowed to do certain tasks laid down by Bob H. (M.Supt.)
As we were moored next to her there were occasions when I was “Requested” by the same Bob H. To go and have a look at the problem(s)
I would have thought they would have brought (obviously size matters) good scrap prices like Steel Landing Craft which were also made mostly out of flat Steel Plate.
