Looking to find where a couple of ships were built
Hello all, I'm trying to find where these 2 ships were built:
M.V. "GAREFOWL" 360562 built: 1978
GAREFOWL - IMO 7235977 - ShipSpotting.com - Ship Photos and Ship Tracker
and
M.V. "VALDIVIA" 385175 unknown build date. (operating up to the mid 90's. I think)
any answer much appreciated.
thank you
Matt

I was on the VALDIVIA of MacAndrews, in 1957 she was built in Germany.
Just checked .....................
Sorry not the same VALDIVIA.

Re: Looking to find where a couple of ships were built
Matt are you getting these names out of your fathers discharge book. or paper discharges ? If so Port of registry nrt and GRT will also be shown. If a foreign flag doubt if would be in discharge book in the era you are I assume talking about, as was frowned upon from extreme heights for any British seaman to sail under foreign flag, so most took paper discharges. Today is totally different as that is just about all that exists is FOC. JS
