Dear Hasse

She is one of the Torrens class the others being Taronga, Tamerlane and Tirranna, all lengthened in 1971.

Wilhelmsen built three classes at this time, the last in a long line of traditional cargo liners.

The others were the

Talabot class; Talabot,Taiko, Trinidad later Tamano,and Taimyr.

Tyr class Tyr and Toro.

Finally in the late 70's they built a multi purpose class with Stulken derricks

The Tsu class Tsu,Terrier, Tennessee,Thermopylae,Tysla,and Talisman.

Also searching for the colors on her decks.
