My final trip to sea as C/E ended in Malmo signing off Polar Colombia in 1984. These fine vessels bring back fond memories of hard work and challenges. I am still searching for photos of these Polars -Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Equador, Paraguay and Uruguay.
Any info appreciated.
If you search the GALLERY on this web site you will find at least 2 photos of each of the ships you mention including the Colombia aground (spelt Columbia)
