Eden Tankers

[Halco]

I wonder if anyone could give me an idea of the stack marking and colours (i.e. hull, deck) of the Eden tanker fleet. I am most interested in the Edenfield that later became the laker Northern Venture.

Thanks alot

Black hull, red bootopping, black decks, grey tanklids and pipelines, white superstructure.
Funnel black with company colours (seven horizontal red bands, six horizontal white bands with a seven pointed blue star).
Masts and samson posts were a light brown "mast colour"
Engine room ventilators were black.
Owners were Hunting and Son Ltd of Newcastle upon Tyne.

I was an apprentice on the Edenfield in 1955/1956.

Cheers

Mac.
