It's all Greek!

One of those agrannoying ones! Albert Weller photographed this vessel in Tees Dock. Obviously Greek, unfortunately slightly blurred, but I can't make any sense of what I can make out of the Greek lettering on her stern!

I think she is Niarchos Group's WORLD GLADE. I saw her with sister WORLD DALE on the Tyne on 21/8/1962.
Built as SAXONGLADE by Vickers Armstrong in 1952 as a tanker, she was converted to a bulk carrier, along with her sister in 1962-3.
I made a note of her name in Greek and it seems to fit Albert's photo.

Ooooohhhhhhhhhh! Looks as though you could be right! If so, extremely well done.

See my own memories from August 1962 at: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=4818
