Uribitarte

At Cardiff, passing through Queens Dock. She was built by J.Burntisland for the Compañía Vasco Cantábrica de Navegación with the name of Uribitarte, which kept all her life. In 1933 she was bought by Antonio Menchaca, who was therefore her owner when at the beginning of the Civil War was berthed at Genoa (Italy), being seized by the Italian Government and trading thereafter with Italian flag and the name of Cosenza until being returned to her owner in 1938. The Cilurnum followed the same steps. She was scrapped in 1972.
