October 1966 photo taken by me whilst on British Beacon. It shows Shell's VOLUTA repairing at Falmouth. My first few weeks in the Merchant Navy as a Deck Apprentice!! Voluta was built in 1962, 35230dwt, 665ft loa, 90ft beam, 16knot steam turbines. My records show that she was sold or transferred to Argentina within the next few years??
