1967 MARIE DE GRACE - 76 OIL ENDEAVOUR - 87 SOSI INSPECTOR
deleted 17.11.11 - existence in doubt
River Tyne trip - 27 June 1976:
PUBLIC HEALTH WARNING!!!! (No. 6!!)
Never dip back into old notebooks - you never know what "can of worms" you may open!!
Well, here's a right to-do! A ship with two names. Which one do I write down?
First attempt - MARIE DE GRACE (after all they were bigger letters). However, subsequently crossed out and replaced with OIL ENDEAVOUR after, I imagine, reference to the Journal of Commerce for the day!
Why stick at it being only one sighting? A few years later I recorded the same vessel twice on the same occasion, the first time for her old name on the bow, the second for her new name on the stern.
I demand a recount .... but to even think of inserting another name and renumbering half the ships in my database .... NO!!
