Built as Martinistad - 1957
Dolphin G - 1971
Dolphin City - 1974
Hoo Tern - 1974
River Taw - 1976

According to Lloyds, her continued existence is in doubt!

The following link shows a page which possibly shows her as Martinistad. (Thumb)

Thanks Gulpers & Ruud
she was dodgy when i was on her left her in Montrose Scotland, how she made it to the caribean makes one wonder. got set on ship from pub (Star & Garter) in Gt Yarmouth while on beach me and irish AB, she was in a mess, first job me and Pat(Irish AB) set about cleaning our accomadation, captain passed strange comment "glad to see crew cleaning up" as said she was a mess. lost Captains car loading it on board prior to sailing, it ended up in the river ayre with all his wifes belongings in the boot? ANOTHER STORY?? (Hippy)
