Ship No 207
Was an order from Wallarah Coal Co in Australia for a single screw Collier.
She was 1273 tons with a length overall of 230 feet and a beam of 35 feet and she was launched from the Leith Shipyard of Henry Robb the 9th of August 1934.
Up to now I have no further information on this vessel. Perhaps some of our readers from Oz or New Zealand can find out a bit more about this vessel.
A history of the Ships built at the Henry Robb Shipyard in Leith, Scotland. Also a testimony to the men who built the Ships and to all who sailed in them.
