Update 27th. I may have dropped a clanger with this one, mainly concerning the vessel in the back ground, on a couple of points. It is highly unlikely to be an `S` class Samanco/Sarmiento as the first was sold out of the fleet in 1956 & the other in 1969. The `O` class came on stream 1972/73, Orbita first so no date overlap; Cotopaxi sold 1973 so possibly one of the last times these vessels were in Liverpool together. As to what the vessel in the back ground is I`m at a loss.
