Seeking photo of Virgilia to complete collection of ships sailed on. I have trawled my way through most if not all of the photo archives on the net and it
is almost as if the vessel did not exist but she is definitely in my Discharge Book in 1971. Harrisons Clyde were owners and Salvesons were managers, she was one of several similar 1500 tonne geared mini bulkers that traded around Europe and Med. (White Sea to Black Sea).

thanks in anticipation

this site has a photo www.ship-photos.dynamic-site.net they charge but if it is a last resort it is worth it. the ship is Virgilia 1970 1437 tons Christian Salveson. I have had a couple of photos and they were good

Hi Roddy:

There is a picture at the following URL, although it's a pretty poor one:

Virgillia

Thanks Bruce,
By the way you wouldn't have Troll Park buried in your CV would you?

Roddy, I'm not sure if this is the 'Troll Park' you're looking for:

I guess the Virgilia got spam blocked being confused as viagra but I see you managed to find it anyway.
