completed Kristiansand 7-1951
1951 AQUILA - 1964 JOQUILA - 1967 SAGA
BU Bilbao 25.7.73 [A.Garcia]

Seen at Hull 2 October 1972. Nothing particularly significant nor interesting about her,
simply for some reason I liked the look of her!

Nothing particularly significant nor interesting about her, or so I thought!

One of my Christmas presents: COASTERS OF SOUTH WALES (Bernard McCall) now provides the additional information:
She suffered a fire in her hold when berthed in Hull on 3 September 1972 and eventually arrived for demolition at Bilbao on 25 July 1973.

No outward evidence of that fire in my photo, but by then it was a month afterwards.
