Can some "historian" help with history of this ship.I was 2E. in her about 1964. Unfortunately my Discharge Book was stolen many years ago, so can't give exact times. I believe she was owned by General Steam navigation as,possibly, s.s.Albatross. Belgian built about 1945,double compound up and downer with cam operated poppet valves.Semi water tube boilers,(scotch boilers with water drums/tubes in the combustion chambers).
Her stokehold was aft of boilers with screen bulkhead between that and engineroom. It was a beautiful plant, never any problems. I have often wondered about her history. If my (failing!) memory seves me she was named
Port Cape town before she was named Frontier.
