CITY OF BIRKENHEAD (5073519), Ellerman Lines Ltd, 7492gt,
completed Cammell, Laird & Co, Birkenhead, 4-1950
1971 LIBERTY TRADER - BU Kaohsiung 21.7.72 [Nan Kwang Steel & Iron Works]

Oops a daisy! What have we here? But Albert Weller was on hand for a bit of local (to him in Redcar) excitement!
The CITY OF BIRKENHEAD ran aground at the South Gare on 4 January 1964.

And I reckon Albert matched the efforts of the local Evening Gazette photographer!
