Unlike some of her sister ships which were converted to container vessels , Sirius kept her bipod mast and cargo handing gear.
Built in 1959 by A and J Inglis Pointhouse Glasgow.(Yard No 1624P). 1,593 g.t. and 2,.730 dwt.
Ended up scrapped in Tripoli , Lebanon in 1988.
Sorry for the poor slide quality.
