I've tried searching online but to no avail, but can anyone identify the other vessels in the photo and in particular the Vlasov vessel. Sean

Report B Bootsmann · Registered Joined Feb 12, 2006 · 139 Posts Oct 28, 2019 GOYA was converted back into a cargo ship in 1952. So the photo must be between 1949 and 1952 because she is seen as an emigrant ship here. Rgds

I had a feeling that the Vlasov vessel could well have been the FAIRSEA before she was rebuilt but I wasn't 100% sure. Many thanks for the additional information. Sean
