    I would go for the SA Morgenster by the lines of her Hull, if you look close the Hull runs straight for longer than the other two, who,s Hulld are a bit Shorter on the Low side ? But just my guess! Even the Bridge etc look more like it!

    Just wondering after a bit of a read, is it possible that the Ship is the Vigil (Vigel) ex SA Vergelegen ) as it is last known ?? Possibly just still using the old SA Funnel for a spell.

    S.A. Vergelegen was commissioned in 1969 had a 250 Stulken heavy lift and the number 3/4 and 5/6 holds had been extended. She was last known as the Virgil prior to being decommissioned after 1987.

    Well going futher i find this is the Port of Tampico, the Ship could possibly be the SA Huguenot as said in another post, on this Thread!



    Yes SA Huguenot it is as if you look at this Link with her in Port again (old Photo) Hover Mouse over image you can see the name clearly.
    Cheers

    Could be a Eastern block ship on charter, did the Poles and the east germans not have a class along those lines?
