In 1954 the title Avenue Shipping Co. name was revived as a joint venture between Birt, Potter & Hughes and the New Zealand Shipping Co. Ltd. to operate mainly between Europe/Australia/New Zealand, carrying non refrigerated cargoes, more or less in parallel with the Federal Line.
Avenue ships carried similar funnel colours to Federal ships but had the letter "A" on a diamond at he centre of the flag. They also had a white line separating the boot topping, while carrying Irish rather English county names.
GALWAY was completed in 1959 by Smiths Dock, Teesside. She was transferred to the P & O Group in 1975, renamed STRATHINVER
Sold to Guan Guan Shipping (PTE) Ltd., Singapore, in 1976 and renamed GOLDEN FORTUNE
Driven aground during a typhoon at Hong Kong in September 1983 she was subsequently scrapped locally.
In this view GALWAY is arriving in the river in 1967, to be lengthened at Smiths Dock, North Shields, during which she gained an additional mast and hatch.
