    Two vessels in this photograph are unidentified, other than one is a Texaco ship. Taken in the 60's but not sure when. If anyone can identify these ships please let me know and I'll update the posting.

  9. Texaco North Dakota

    Texaco North Dakota

    She struck an unlit oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico in the late 1970's. All survived the blaze, and the stern was welded to a new bow I believe Note the melted life boat and the slice in the stem.
