SPOLESTO on her trial.

Coasters,

I could be wrong, but I think your SPOLESTO is the slightly later 1958-built one.
See: viewtopic.php?f=43&t=7459
Whichever, a good addition to our forum. Thanks.

I've now found a photo of her as EDGEFIELD when she still had two masts!
I should also have done a better comparison of her hull shape.

So, apologies, but I now think I was wrong!!!!

: Hello Ron, this happens often with the two Spolesto's.
The 1956 built Spolesto as Radcliffe Trader.
