Zincmaster

Zincmaster

Now known as J D Mitchell

Seen here at Anchor off Princes Wharf no 4 in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. This ship is a partial bulk carrier and partial acid tanker. She was bound for the Zinc Smelter at Risdon with a cargo of Zinc Concentrates. She was been replaced on this run by the Iron Sturt now known as the Vigsnes. The Zincmaster although not regularly did anchor in this location from time to time and it was rare for her to go to anchor and have to wait for access to the Risdon Berth normaly she would get priority like the Vigsnes does.

She was purpose built to fit alongside the Risdon gantrys so she was a little on the thin side thus she could roll like a bugger.
I was on her until she paid off in Newcastle and was sold abroad
