I am interested to find out what happened to those two ships.
Sheridan, built in 1959 also sailed under charter to Booth as their Veras
Spenser, built the same year, was also chartered to Booth as Valiente
Anybody knows what happened to them afterwards?

Sheridan 1961 chartered to Lamport & Holt, 1964 sold to Lamport & Holt, 1967 chartered from Lamport & Holt renamed Cyril (3), 1978 sold to Greece renamed Angie.

Valiente 1959 ex- Spenser (4), 1961 chartered from Lamport & Holt renamed Valiente, 1969 renamed Veloz, 1973 sold to Colombia renamed Tanambi.

Veras 1959 ex- Siddons, 1962 chartered from Lamport & Holt renamed Veras, 1973 sold to Panama.

Aristo,

If you go to the below site, all the Lamport ships are listed and their history if you scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the Booth Line funnel all the Booth ships are listed and their history.

I was 3rd Mate of the Sheridan, sister to the Spencer in 1967.


Kind regards

Chris.

Thanks for the link Santos but the two ships in question are missing from that site.

Thanks Gdynia, Sheridan (1961) was renamed Wes Point in 1981, Tomoh Satu in 1985 and was scrapped in 1993 in Singapore.

I was on SIDDONS 3, off No 301301 GRT1281 NRT 565 as 3rd Mate from Apr61 till Apr62, shortly after this she reverted back to Booths as the VERAS.
