Photo: WSS Teesside Branch Albert Weller Collection. This one is definitely taken from Dock Point of the CHINKOA sailing from Middlesbrough Dock, about to turn out of the Middlesbrough Dock Cut.

One of the numerous British India company ships which frequented the Tees in the 1960s was the CHINKOA, 7102gt.
Completed by Barclay, Curle at Glasgow in December 1952. She had not reached her 20th birthday by the time she was scrapped at Bilbao in July 1972. This was a time when we were seeing, without fully realising it at the time, the demise of numerous conventional British freighters and cargo-liners. It may be that her end was slightly hastened by the fact she sustained damage to her bridge structure whilst moving in Antwerp Docks in April 1972.

She was one of my own early sightings, in December 1960, and, alongside a couple other of ships he photographed which I also saw around that same time, may well have been recorded by Albert when sailing on that occasion. The WELSH PRINCE (q.v.) being one such ship.
