Re: Ethel Everard
Yes Vernon I think that pic is of the 3rd ETHEL EVERARD Built in 1966.
Robert's Dad's Ethel in which he sailed in 1951 was built in 1944 as the Empire Newfoundland for UK Gov,,being taken over by Everards in 1949,then being sold onwards in 1954.
INFOLINK Here. Frustratingly no photo but will continue to look.
There were 3 Ethel Everards in total.
1.ETHEL EVERARD (180076)blt.as Empire Newfoundland 1944.With Everards 1949-1954
2.ETHEL EVERARDt.(187688) blt. 1957.Converted to cement carrier in 1963 and sold on.
3.ETHEL EVERARD (308116) blt.1966.Sold onwards 1984

Re: Ethel Everard
The closest image I can find at the moment,to Robert's query - first ETHEL EVERARD (ex Empire Newfoundland-is her immediate yard number sister at Gray's ,Hartlepool -with same scantlings (tonnage,dimensions etc.) her sister vessel the Empire Labrador,which was managed by Lambert Bros. and became the INCHARRAN-picture below. Just like her sister,she ended up with Indo China Shipping after the war.

Re: Ethel Everard
Doc Vernon Yr.#5 Pic. I -Think -so......Heh heh !
If Ivan were back with us,he'd soon tell us--he has an eye for comparing ship details! Maybe you can do the same with your new eyes!
I think you've found it,although Grays of Hartlepool built quite a few more Empire ships of that class towards the end of the war in 44/45.
Cheers!
