Kaohshiung Taiwan ship breakers yard
I was on Shell Tanker Hemitrochus for the last 5 and half months of her life before she crossed the bar in Kaohshiung Oct 1977. She was built in late 50s midships/aft accommodation and originally been San Emiliano2 owned by Eagle oil which Shell took over early 60s. That name was on several of the manuals in the radio room.. She had become even too rusty for Shell! Sad end for for lovely character ship.
