she was one of a serie of sistervessels, built in the late 1950's by FSG. I think, she was scrapped in China in the 1990's.
Sisters of her were the NORDWIND, NORDSTERN, NORDMEER+NORDLAND, all (132,0 x 18,4 x 8,59 m).
NORDMEER sank on 1966.11.19 in Thunder Bay Is, near Alpena, Michigan.
Thanks for posting this great pic!
