Loading rapeseed today, although controlled by Torbulk she is commercially managed by Mr Gillie and Mr Blair on New Bridge Street Newcastle upon Tyne - okay so it Mr & Mr Gillie. Not sure when Mr Blair left - but am working on it

An observation.......

Although there is apparently no connection between Torbulk and Faversham Ships, have you noticed how similar there Funnel Markings are??????

Only the width of the White Band separates them.

Funnel colours are Gillie & Blair's from when they started as ship owners in their own right way back in the 1920s

And I bet she hasn't carried Boddingtons either in cans or kegs.
PEACOCK Venture owned by Peacock Salt Ltd never - ever - carried one cargo of salt
