Starboard broadside view of S.S. INDIAN SHIPPER at Cardiff Docks. Also seen is coaster MORAY FIRTH.
The 567 gross ton steam coaster Moray Firth was owned by G. T. Gillie & Blairs of Newcastle, a firm originally established by G. T. Gillie in 1911. The Moray Firth was sold to the Aberdeen Coal & Shipping Co. Ltd. in 1959, and was eventually broken up at Dunston in March 1972. G. T. Gillie & Blair still manage coasters for a number of coasting and short-sea trade companies. Source: Shipping at Cardiff: Photographs from the Hansen Collection 1920-1975 by David Jenkins, 1993.
