M.V. FOREST, glass negative
Hansen, Leslie W.
(photographer)
¾ Port Bow view of M.V. FOREST at Queen Alexandra Dock, Cardiff.
Morels were amongst the first Cardiff owners to acquire motor vessels, and in 1936-7 they took delivery of two Doxford 'Economy' motor tramps. The second of these was the 4,998 gross ton Forest, seen here in the Queen Alexandra Dock, c.1948. Twice bombed during the Second World War, she was still trading under the Cypriot flag in the late 1960s.
