She underwent some conversion to a restaurant ship, which was carried out by Wear Dockyard
I do'nt know if it was for Albert Le Blond who owned Wear Dockyard or for a 3rd party.
Anyway the work was never completed and she disappeared. Wether she ended up on the bottom of the dock or broken up there I am not sure
Either fate possible but the latter likely!!

Was she the one that Dennison's bought and then found she was unsuitable for the trade they wanted to use her in???

Ex GISELA BARTELS dating from 1962. I see they kept her for at least 10 years so she must have ok, up to a point.

No Paul you are thinking of HOXA SOUND.
She was built as HENRIETTE B and became SHETLAND TRADER then SHETLAND TRADER 1 then in 1979 became SHETLAND TRADER, HOXA SOUND and then TELEBAR
Three name changes in 1979.
