I think it was around 1983 and one was called EL MANSOUR and the El????
Were they bought by one of the local yards for conversion............into something a bit more posh!

If I remember correctly they were supposed to be converted to luxury yachts for the Middle East. There were another two moored down by Davey Bank next door to Swans which were of a decidedly elderly vintage for the same purpose.
But they fall into the 'one minute they were there and...' category
