Thanks for posting. Pleasant memories for my father who sailed this one and her sister, the Sea Transport (ex-Ville Plate, Tellico) Late 50's early 60's.

In fact a very interesting photo of the old Quinnebaug / AOG 71 Quinnebaug - laid down in 1944 as a T 1 tanker - type T1-M-BT1.

Kind regards
Jesper

Unlike the Sea Transport (Tellico), they never added the wheelhouse on the middle structure.

Thanks for the information about the missing wheelhouse - I had been wondering about it.

There are two other good photos of her at www.wellandcanal.ca/salties/d/donernesto/ernesto.htm - one as Don Ernesto and one as River Transport.

Kind regards
Jesper
