There are not many references to Strick Line on SN.
I wonder if anyone has any further experiences or anecdotes of their time with this company, cargoes carried and details of ports visited.
As an apprentice at Falmouth Docks, I remember the Registan of 1947, spending some time here, having many shell plates renewed, all riveted in those days, what a noise that created, and the labour involved had to be seen to be believed.
These ships had accommodation fitted out to a very high standard, and that stands out particulary in my memory.
Other Strick Line ships that visited Falmouth for drydocking/repairs then were.
Khuzistan built 1955
Muristan " 1950
Nigaristan " 1947
Tangistan " 1950
Turkistan " 1963
Gorjistan " 1961
Karaghistan " 1957
In those days I always wondered what was beyond the horizon and where these ships were bound.
Best wishes.
Nigel.
