Shaw, Savill & Albion’s Canopic, completed at Walker Naval Yard in 1954, alongside at Smith’s Docks in July 1964 with what appears to be an Irish Shipping Co. vessel astern. Broken up 1986.

Dennis, I did the river trip on 22 July 1964 and logged CANOPIC, but not the Naess (?) or Irish vessel (but I logged only new sightings so they may have been there).

One of the three built at Cork early 1960s
Last one was poor quality or translated into Irish 'the turd'

Must be IRISH CEDAR 1962 or IRISH PLANE 1963 both from the Verolme Heusden yard. They differed from the earlier SYCAMORE (by Grays) & ROWAN (Cork).

Yes either CEDAR or PLANE as ROWAN dad a different mast configeration
Think I saw one of them, or one similar, laid up in the Royal Docks in London in the early 1980s
