Full details of voyage were; loaded nitrate in Tocapilla, Chile November 1965, transit Panama Canal 21/22 November `65. First port of discharge Almeria, Spain 5-8.12.1965, bunkered Ceuta, Spanish Morocco 8/9.12.1965. Next port of discharge Kallundborg, Denmark 14/18.12.1965, last port of discharge Delfzyl, Holland 20/22.12.1965. Arrived Glasgow on Christmas day 1965 to pick up a Blue Star charter for Australia & New Zealand. So your photo was taken somewhere between the 14th-18th December 1965 in Kallundborg. What a memory jerker!
Cheers,

Thanks very much, David for these details and your additional information to the photo.

Must have been a Nitrate Company of Chile cargo. They were basically a British company and it was all arrnaged from sale to fixing the ship through their London office. Loaded nitrate a coupe of times and the first , being a bit wary of nitrate, well I always thought it exploded, asked their 'superl' about what precautions to take to which received the most sussinct reply , 'None, you could throw an Hurricane Lamp on that pile and it still would'nt do anything ,except , probably put the lamp out'., One lives and learns.
