Perhaps someone will be able to tell me the fate of the Union Wellington,
she was launched as the Stena Shipper but was bought on completion by the Union Co. I worked by her when she was tied up at the patent slip in Evans bay stripping her of Union Co gear prior to her leaving N.Z.
I beleive she was almost lost leaving Melbourne while under Union Co colours, something to do with the bow door, which I think was welded closed after this incident. Have heard that she went down after leaving N.Z. but don't know whether this is correct
