PS Does anyone know where I can obtain a photograph of the San Leonardo. Thank you in advance.

John the best i could find was these from when she was the Turnbinellus. Some sites say that she was renamed the SAN LEANDRO rather than the LEONARDO. One is presumably a typo??

Tony,
Thanks very much for the photos.

When I sailed on her in 1958/59 she definately was the SAN LEONARDO. I was assistant steward on her. She was classed as an old T2 tanker in them days but she was a very happy ship.

Again thanks for the photos, I've now got photos of all the ships I sailed on.

The SS Gloucester Castle Completed 1911 .I was scared to roll over in my bunk in case i put my elbow through the ships side .One 5.9 shell fired by the Germans over the bridge would have sunk her
