CARGO FLEET NO. 3 (5063423) berthed River Tees on 18 May 1965, presumably at Cargo Fleet Wharf.
Completed by Fleming & Ferguson, Paisley, 1-1946 for Cargo Fleet Iron Co Ltd, in 1953 restyled South Durham Steel & Iron Co. Ltd; 988gt; 1972 sold and renamed MEGSTONE (Stephenson Clarke); BU River Medway 3.75. Sorry it is not the most brilliant of photos, but ....??
In a way, I can make some personal connections with this one. My mother was born in Paisley, my dad worked at Cargo Fleet Iron and Steel works (as did my wife's father).
