Jaijee

Have got the L+H Merchant Fleets book out of the library at the moment and having checked the profiles I can't find one that really fits. The nearest I could see was the STELLA built in 1880 for the Liverpool, Brazil & R. Plate S.N. Co and based in B.A. She was sold in 1984 for further local trading.

Sorry can't be more help

Any comments

Jaigee,

I seem to remember in my very distant memory, that L+H or in partiicular the Vesty Group, owned a couple of tugs scattered around Brazil and the River Plate.

I remember seeing one on a trip to BA and I am sure its the one in your pic.

Kind regards

Chris.

Hi tell,

Just read the post, it certainly sounds as if that could be the one. (Thumb)
