@Chris: All the known Middlesbrough-built vessels built by Harkess at http://www.teesbuiltships.co.uk/harkess/aalist.htm
The yard no total of 233 probably includes those builtat Harkess's earlier yard at Sunderland.

In fact, LA PALMA was the second of "three" sisters: LA PALMA, LEON Y CASTILLO and VIERA Y CLAVIJO, plus three smaller but similar British-built sisters (FUERTEVENTURA, GOMERA and LANZAROTE)linking the Canaries with regular cargo and passenger lines from 1912 to 1977, when LA PALMA was laid up and replaced by five 1.200 grt Spanish-built ferries. Regards Trenor

The shipyard who built her was in business from 1866 to 1922 and Mirimar lists 108 ships built by this yard.

LA PALMA was the second of two sisters, both completed in 1912 by Harkess , the first being LEON Y CASTILLO for Cia de Vapores Correos Interinsulares Canarios, and from 1931 Cia Trasmediterranea.

Like LA PALMA she enjoyed a long life, finally being broken up in 1981 at Las Palmas, while her sister went on to be the headquarters for the local yacht club.

She looks old and tired, but her bright colors are refreshing her.
Congratulations to her for 100th birthday.

Lucky ship, celebrating her 100th birthday!
