On 11 November 1961 (Remembrance Day) after seeing the YENI MESERRET (see: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=28290) I recorded the coaster ANGLOBEL as my final sighting that day. That means she must have been berthed up at the sheerlegs end of Tyne-Tees/Dent's Wharves. After 60 years memory is vague but when I looked up her history I am fairly certain it reminded me that the previous April, during my first visit to the Hartlepools, I had spotted a ship with the name WANSBECK but for some reason I had not been able to trace her, although I did find the EMPIRE WANSBECK which was still in service at that time.
Anyway, although I did not photograph the ANGLOBEL at that time she was to cross my path again several years later during her brief spell under the name CONCORD.
