Albert Weller slide taken in Tees Dock, date unknown:
HOEGH-DRAKE.jpg

We're finding a few puzzles among these slides by Albert! This one came identified as the HOEGH DRAKE but a quick check on the 'net showed that while there were some similarities, she was not this one! Check in the obvious resources on the www, but no luck. Check the WSS Hoegh history .... no, even though she looked to be built pre-1968 when that book came out.
Finally, it was a photo that had been on sale on Ebay of all places that solved it! (checking against Hoegh acquisitions post-1968 as listed in Miramar).
