GROVEDALE H was built by Harker in 1966

At a later date at Hull

My last photo of her was 05/07/2011 still at Hull .... but not sure if still here... might have moved to Alex Dock.

Equasis shows her as STEPHANIE (SLE) since 010412. Owners are listed as Lagos-based since 260412. There is no evidence of activity on the quoted MMSI number.

I have received two replies from Humber VTS/ABP that confirm that GROVEDALE H. sailed from Alex Dock on 070712 for Gillingham in tow of the small tug CHRISTINE (MQPQ6).

Thanks for the research Simon .... wonder if she got past Gillingham!

I wondered that too George. I did find one transmission for the MMSI south of Sicily last December but not enough to draw any conclusions.

Mystery solved, she is still at Gillingham as GROVEDALE H. (or was as of 1st October)

Maybe someone sent their bank details to Nigeria, expecting a payment in, but it went out

GROVEDALE H. remains laid-up (if that is the right term) on the River Swale. Looks unlikely to be going anywhere soon. Seen on yesterday's Thames Ship Society cruise.
