Dear All,
I uploaded another picture taken at the same time for the completeness of the location of ships on this day in Beirut.
Kind regards, Vladimir

Gentlemen, I have fortunately found two photos on file of CORFIATISSA as ANGELE, just posted in case of interest

Hello Malcolm,
Thank for this information which confirms CORFIATISSA, and by the way, precises the date (May 1974).
Regards,
Yvon

BEKAA was of course a frequent visitor to Beirut. However, on 4th May 1974 she sailed from the port when CORFAITISSA was also there, sailing the same day for Larnaca.

Hi,
The ship on the left, along side the quay, seems to be one of six French built ships :
- BALTIQUE (1952 / 5031573) = NO, different stern accomodations and sank 11/1973.
- ISEE (1952 / 5348172) = NO, 1961- TABARKA (Tun), 11/2004- BU
- NELEE (1953 / 5217397) = NO, 1956- MAHDIA (Tun), 1978- FANOURIOS G (Grc), 05/1982- BU
- ORPHEE (1952 / 5265643) = NO, different stern accomodations and 03/1971 BU.
- PENERF (1951 / 5273901) = POSSIBLE, 1970- CONSTANTINOS (Grc), 1973- CORFIATISSA (Grc), 01/1979- BU.
- PENHIR (1952 / 5200825) = NO, 1970- converted in hopper barge

So the Greek CORFIATISSA (5273901) could match but I cannot find a photo to compare the funnel colors. Help needed !
Regards,
Yvon
