She was the Alfred Holt ship Melampus which was one of the 14 ships caught in the Great Bitter Lake in 1967 at the outbreak of the 6 Day War which were stuck there until 1975:

Yes.

saltydog · « **Reply #4861 on:** November 27, 2009, 10:29:00 »

I was a bit in doubt, because she is from 1926..

Name of this one (1935)..?

Wave Music · « **Reply #4862 on:** November 27, 2009, 10:42:10 »

Double right..(Simplon has it wrong)

Wave Music · « **Reply #4864 on:** November 27, 2009, 14:08:27 »

Ok, new one!

Need all names of this ship, built in 1973:

saltydog · « **Reply #4865 on:** November 27, 2009, 14:24:24 »

What could possibly be interesting about that..?

What could be interesting about any ship that you can find on Simplon?

The questioned ship is mentioned on that site, I just took another image of her.

saltydog · « **Reply #4868 on:** November 27, 2009, 14:40:50 »

Let me guess..this was the most boring one you could find..

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #4869 on:** November 27, 2009, 14:51:45 »

Personally I am very interested in this picture. I am unaware of this vessels name, but I would like to find out as it was one of the undoubted back bone of international trade, and as Mr WM puts it, it is no more nor any less interesting than any other vessel here posted.

So I ask WM not to be distracted and to continue on with his question, to which I seek the answer.

EDIT: Based on its general shape, the image quality and the derricks beside, I would place it in the late 40s/mid 50s. Which would make it a pioneer of containerised cargo and therefore quite interesting after all!

Wave Music · « **Reply #4870 on:** November 27, 2009, 14:56:39 »

Thanks, Stu, but she was built in 1973!

Welcome here Stu, I was just jiving WM a bit..
We look forward if you can find her..

Wave Music · « **Reply #4872 on:** November 27, 2009, 15:07:13 »

The ship was originally owned by the company which was sold to Delmas in 1989.

saltydog · « **Reply #4873 on:** November 27, 2009, 15:24:25 »

Built by Stocznia Szezecinska, Szezecin..?
