Nice pic Joe.
She looks bigger than she actually, tiny for a container ship. The Registration of St Johns is Antigua, not Canada.

It’s called “bunkering “ Joe. Some that feed the big cruise ships are not so small and can take all day to fill them up. Ken

Thanks for that info Ken, when the polio was working, I suppose it was state of the art back in the day.

She’s a bulker and light, I wonder what she would load in the Langton?
Is that where the scrap metal was ?

Thanks, Ken but It’s not my photo. You can just see the mounds of scrap metal in the background on the left of her.

Joe.

Thanks for your many very interesting and nostalgic photos on this thread.

I must admit I have never followed it closely but have just read through it.

My interest was really fuelled by your three photos of HMS Conway (16 Jan. March 4 and April 5) which I never realised had berthed in Liverpool.

My very first job was as a galley boy on that Blue Funnel ship in 1950. I drew my uniform from the Alfred Holt office in India Buildings and my weeks wage was 12s 6d. Being six feet tall I had many problems with the headroom being only 5ft 8ins inside the ship. Seems sailors were quite small when it was built.
