An Albert Weller slide of an unidentified ship on the stocks at a South Shields shipyard on an unknown date: Ron

Readhead's Yard post 1968 when they were taken over by Swan Hunter Shipbuilders Ltd.

If location is right then suggest she is a fair match for one of the Banks as they had this very forward position of the anchor hawse, see for example
http://www.tynebuiltships.co.uk/C-Ships ... k1973.html

More likely one of the 31,000t tankers built at South Shields George. (Strait of Canso [90, launched 7 April 1975] or Hindustan [91, launched 12 May1976]) both for Common Bros. She's on the up-river berth (the longer of the two remaining after the early 60s redevelopment) and fills the berth, the bow being close to the shipyard boundary. I don't think that the Banks had bulbs, as this ship does.

Edit: Thanks Dennis, did not see a bulb under all that gubbins.

Dennis,
She's a good fit for Hindustan.
