After she suffered from a broken crankshaft off Albany Australia she was towed to Aden by the Merit and after loading a cargo of crude was towed to the UK by the Baron - I think this photo is of her in the channel nearing the end of her epic voyage - although she does not appear to be in a loaded condition in the photo - maybe I've got it wrong

Could be on her way to the breakers at Bruges in September 1963. United Towing were heavily involved delivering ships to breakers around that time.
