Re: Women and ships in the Spanish Civil War
I missed this post somehow, Here's a mystery. I was n the Baron Elibank in 1952, and have had her picture on my Comp for years, but now I think it is the wrong one as it looks the same as the one Graham has put up. The ships no I have is168364.

So Des
168364 was Shell tanker NARANIO 1943-1961.... LINK-incl.photo
168964 was cargo vessel BARON ELIBANK from 1946-1959 (blt 43 as Empire Ransom)....LINK-incl.photo of her as the later Armenistes
Has this solved it?
Cheers
Graham

Re: Women and ships in the Spanish Civil War
For Des:The subject of this article,the ss SEVEN SEAS SPRAY was an earlier BARON ELIBANK (141938) built 1919 as the GLASSFORD,then with Baron Line as BARON ELIBANK from 1923-1934,then becoming SEVEN SEAS SPRAY. A bit before your time Des! Your BARON ELIBANK (168964)was built in 1946.

Yes Des, what would we do without Specsavers?
Though I do not use them, use OPSM, find them far better.
Happy daze John in Oz.
