Probably renamed in dry dock.
I was told by the cook of HUDSON LIGHT that she was in drydock at Wallsend and he went home one afternoon and came back the next morning and the gateman would not let him in. He said he was the cook off the HUDSON LIGHT and the gateman said there was no ship of that name in the dock. She had changed to CASTLE POINT during the afternoon the cook was away and obviously the gateman was looking at a board with ship's names on and HUDSON LIGHT had been wiped out and replaced by CASTLE POINT!
