MONSOON CURRENT had sailed from Bibao on 2nd May 1971 bound for Duluth, so clearly to load grain

I'm happy to share for the delight of shiplovers, present or future.

What classic beauty, You definitely got her best side.
Thanks for sharing

HLD on foremast stowed down along the hatch centreline :)

A majestic view! A true representation of that shipbuilding era!

On other photo she does have a some HLD on foremast, but all her derricks look indeed very light like some 3 ton.

Upbound light ship in the Seaway, it is likely she was going to load grain, as a bulk cargo.

An impressive shot taken from the right angle.
What surprises me that she has not a single heavy lift derrick. Her cargo gear seems "light" to me for a 6 hatches vessel.
I reckon Komrowski built her for the ore/bulk trade rather then for general cargo/liner service.
Thanks for posting René

Classic ol' lady :-)
