LIVERPOOL BRIDGE

[teesships]

LIVERPOOL BRIDGE (7343085), Bibby Tankers Ltd., 91655gt,
completed Swan Hunter S.Bs, Haverton Hill (successor to Furness Furness Shipbuilding Co Ltd), 6-1976
1976 LIVERPOOL BRIDGE - 1978 DERBYSHIRE
missing - last reported 25.18N/133.12E 8.9.80 (44 lost) - wreck found 400nm E Okinawa 5.94

Being towed stern-first away from Haverton Hill and under the Transporter Bridge, then outwards passing the South Gare - 18 May 1976 (although her completion date is recorded as the following month I have always regarded this as her delivery voyage from the Tees following completion)

Must admit I thought we would have featured this ill-fated vessel previously, but apparently not.

Remind me to dig out some of her "build" shots some time Ron.
