City of Hereford

Ship Builders Model of City of Hereford is up for auction at Christies at present. My first ship. Does anyone know if her name was changed in later years ?

City of Hereford (I) Launched in 1927 and scrapped in 1959. 1955 R/n 'Inchona'; 1956 R/n 'Golden Alpha'.

City of Hereford (II) Launched in 1958 and scrapped in 1980. 1971 R/n 'City of Glasgow'. 1978 R/n 'Myrna'.

I sailed on her when she was the 'City of Glasgow' from 19.02.74 until 05.08.74.

Any more info/photos re the Christies auction?

Regards

Dave

Hi Dave, Thanks for Info. Had the feeling that I recognised her from a photo recently. Do you know if she was ever on the MANZ run? I have this feeling that she was in Brisbane at the same time as we were in late1967, (as the Glasgow).

I assume you have seen Christies web site with model in glass case. Unfortuneatly I have no other photos of her. Thanks again Regards Jeffs.
