STENA TRANSFER
(restructured 1979 and
1981)
Seen over the years as:
ALPHA PROGRESS - Tees Dock - New
Year's Day 1978
Now there's a thing! Delivered as
STENA RUNNER on 04.11.1977 and renamed ALPHA PROGRESS 1978.
If that date is correct the paint cannot
have been dry by the time I took this photo? (and both sets of names
do look somewhat indistinct as at that time)

Vlissingen.)
EUROPEAN TIDEWAY - Hook of
