A view taken from the bridge of an ore carrier during a visit in 1966 by members of the W.S.S.
I can't say which ship she is but have a notion that she was scandanavian owned.
Could it be a 'Clan' alongside?

Certainly has the look of a Clan.

Evita and Carmencita (Uglands) were both in Smiths about that timeline,
Captains Kristian Egeberg & Pette Tofteland.....

Should be in "Seachest". I'll see if I've got the appropriate one.

Sorry bit short on Seachest's for the period so cannot help with id.

From Sea Chest No. 25 - July 1966:
"On 23 June another group of members looked over the SARAH BOWATER lying strikebound at Howdon and two days later a party boarded the DISCOVERER, a bauxite carrier undergoing engine and bottom damage repairs in dry dock at North Shields"

The evidence points to this one.........

DISCOVERER
Lib-Ore Steamship Co Inc. Monrovia.
5,000 Gross. 2,672 Net. 7,950 Dwt,
Built at Burntisland in 1955.
Steam Turbines by D Rowan & Co Ltd giving her a speed of 12 Knots.
Credited with the carriage of 2 Passengers!

Disposal Data:

You missed the next bit Dennis.....

"After looking over the ship we enjoyed an interesting chat with Captain Nielsen who thoughtfully rounded off our afternoon by providing a light tea"

Those were the days!!!
