Don't know if it's of interest but the one-time Loch Maree/Langelle has just been sold for demolition in Bangladesh for $327.5/LDT. Her current name is Ice Music.

Cheers

[Tony Breach]

Boy, did these ships have histories!

Without naming all owners names & flags here's how they went:

FASTELLE 1984
GEESTHAVEN (2) 1986
STAR HAVEN 1993
PACIFIC KORU 1996
MARY K 1997 (this name was probably never officially used)
PATAGONIAN PRIDE 1997
As PATAGONIAN PRIDE vessel was detained for 192 days in Gdynia due severe structural defects in 1998
PATAGONIAN PRIDE was scrapped in India & arrived Alang 12.12.2000.

The really tough time for these ladies was when they were in the ownership of Jimmy Jacoumis with some partners who lost a lot of money with their involvement.

Keep it cool!

I sailed on Loch Lomond (2nd Phase Deck Cadet) Have got some very nice 35mm slides of Loch Lomond up in the attic (including one featured on back cover of Denholm News Winter/Spring 1980 edition). Just bought copier to copy them to disc and will post photos once I find out how to use the thing.

Ahoy Mike,

Looking forward to the results of these scans, hope you will succeed.

[pentlandpirate]

Hi Ruud,

Am looking forward to being able to do something with all those slides. My wife and kids dread it when I say, "Anyone want to see what life was like at sea!"

If anyone interested, I should have decent photos of Denholm Ship Management ships, Wellpark, Loch Lomond, Coastal Corpus Christi, Nordic Clansman and a couple of Conon Forest (Havrais), and Gothia Team. Think I have a few Instamatic (remember those?) photos of Sevonia Team too somewhere.

Also have copies of Denholm News if anyone trying to find old stories:
Winter 1977/78
Spring 1978
Autumn 1978
Winter 1978/79
Spring/Summer 1979
Autumn 1979
Winter/Spring 1980
Summer 1980
Summer/Autumn 1981
Winter/Spring 1981

Ahoy Mike,
Yep we love to see them,post as most possible, always good to see other views of vessels/life on board; as for your wife & kids: 'Thanks to this life at sea, they gratitude this life nowadays living.
Yeah remember those Kodak Instamatics, handy cameras in those days, with those Square Blue Bulb Flashes on top of it.

[John Cassels]

Also have all copies of Denholm News 1963 - 1980 if anyone interested.

[xdenholm]

just remembered, does anyone remember ch/eng,dave bissett and deacon from loch boats around 78/79 ,think it was capt bell at the time (remember wilma the nav cadet ,thats for him) also capt harvey with the gold tooth or even mike pride 2/eng, an x denholms blueyed cadet, think but not sure became M.D. of denholm ship management just before it merged to become anglo seboard?.around 2000.anyone with any info on these chaps? it true what they said i was on her 6months and asked to stay another 6 only to be told no most dissapointing wonder whats happing in golfito now or pt limon

[pentlandpirate]

Harbour bar, Golfito? Was that the place with the bar down stairs, and the knocking shop upstairs, which was open to the rafters and split into lots of individual cubicles, where (if you were lying on your back with your eyes open: best not done!) you could see the rats running round the top of the partitions and hear your shipments working off their energy nextdoor? Harbour bar, Golfito....never heard of it!!!

Golfito......such fond memories.

As`we pulled up the hook leaving Golfito on Loch Lomond I discovered we had a 25 ft steel barge sat evenly across both flukes. I'm sure there was nothing below us when we let go coming into port! Remember a turtle eating a bunch of floating bananas in the port..............
