There was a third sister of these ships, she was called American Main She was built the same time as the Ming and Mist they each crossed the Atlantic to Los Angles and had a overhaul in Todds ship yard to try and fix them. The yard in Vigo that built them had only ever built fishing boats, and went bust after these three had been built. They now build super yachts now and are very good at it. The three of them each went from LA to the Far East and started a feeder service into Hong Kong for American Lines.Some time in 1978 they where returned to American Lines and as you stated the Ming and Mist went as per your history. The Main was renamed Strait Container and I think went down towards Singapore, she was the one sister that just went into the mist of time. They were nice little ships but built on the cheap.
