Hi Rick and all - Must be John Summers steels mill at Shotton on the the River Dee,taken over by British Steel 60-70's ? Looks like she may have loaded on the Manchester Ship Canal before they rebuilt the jetty at the mill, used to fix with British Steel back in the 80's off the jetty, Angela Jurgens-Larrisasse etc etc Cheers Gareth

I do not think the photo is taken at Shotten but the big crane at Liverpool Docks,-but I could also be wrong. Cheers,Rick |

Hi Rick - you're right its def not Shotton , Liverpool probably as you say due to the size of the crane (lifting steel coils). John Summers owned her, wonder if they had any other ships ? Gareth
