Re: COPACABANA
From Mr. Peter Crichton I received a message that the vessel depict on this stamp issued by Brazil is not the COPACABANA but one of the four reefer sisterships the ALBERTO COCOZZA, FRIGO TEJO, FRIEGO TIETE or RAFAEL LOTITO.
The photo of the COPACABANA taken by Mr. Crichton in Liverpool Docks on 21 October 1973, the other photo I downloaded from the net and shows one of the class of four reefer vessels, and it shows clearly that the wrong ships name is on the stamp.
The four ships were all built by C.C.N Maua shipyard, Niteroi, Brazil., for Empr. De Navigation Aliance S.A., Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with details about the same for each ship.
