I have the following recorded as an apparently unregistered name (1974-1979) for this vessel,
the first of this name in the fleet.
SHELL SPIRIT 2 (5322386), 440gt, completed Kinderdijk 1-1939
1939 SHELL SPIRIT 2 - 1972 BERMONDSEY ....
BU Blyth 1979 [Hughes Bolckow Ltd]. Paul - can you confirm her name from your records?
River Tees - 30 August 1977:
Just wondering if, in view of her name reflecting that of her owners, she may in fact have been the first in the fleet, rather than the CHERRYBOBS (1), both appearing on the river in 1974, it would seem?
