A nice picture of her To add a bit more built for Bristol channel use as JOHN T STRATFORD but only delivered as that name, renamed on arrival at Sharpness, designed to work on the G&S canal and usually took cargo to the BP depot at Quedgeley, as well as Dunball, Avonmouth, Newport and Cardiff. Also as a black oiler spent a lot of time bunkering larger ships around various ports including the bulk carriers at Port Talbot. Probably some of the first vessels to be fitted with Becker rudders at that time.
