Scrapped	Alang (India) - 1988

Leaving Valencia Leaving the shipyard for the sea trials         She was built by Wilton Feyenoord at Rotterdam (Netherlands), launched on 04-June-1960 and carrying out the sea trials on 06-April-1961. The contract was for building a tanker, but because of the tanker trade depression when already was being built was changed to a general cargo vessel. Her length was 144.3 meters and her breadth 20.2, with 11,573 DWT. Her main engine was a MAN K6Z-78/155C with six cylinders, with 7,800 HP got 16 knots.

As Ybarra's ships usually had a white hull, it seems that this photo was taken shortly after the purchase, when she had not yet gone to dry dock to change the color. Before bought by Ybarra she was chartered to several companies. Among them were the Dutch VNS for eight years, which funnel has in this photo, and the Brasilian Aliança, which funnel has in the following one.
Leaving Capetown Nice view to see the poop and accomodation after part         These photos were taken from the mast that was between the hold 2 and 3. It was the tallest because it had two king posts. As can be seen they were taken when the vessel was chartered to VSN, because the funnel had its colors.
In this nice sketch she is with the original Van Ommeren funnel. In the last photo she can be seen at Port Said, with the VNS funnel. In 1988 she was sold for scrapping. For the trip to Alang (India), where she was scrapped, was renamed as Cabo Santa and her flag changed to Saint Vicent and Granadines. Full ahead This watercolor, so realistic, shows her sailing at half load, with stains on the hull after some time from last drydock.


With the contribution of Javier Careaga Basarrate, who supplied the engines data.
