ANTONIO MACEO

Post by aukepalmhof » Sun Nov 16, 2014 7:34 pm

Given by Stanley Gibbons as a tanker, but by looking at the stamp she is a gearless bulker and not a tanker.
By looking through Comecon Merchant Ships I found a photo which looks the same as the ship depict on the stamp and only one bulker I can find under Cuba flag which is gearless around the time the stamp was issued.
Two of this type were built only one was gearless the other carried cranes. The gearless bulker is the ANTONIO MACEO one of the Ziemia Bialostocka type.
