M.V. SIGSILVER, launch card
Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co. Ltd.
(publisher)
Launch card for the M.V. SIGSILVER "In commemoration of christening for Messr. Silver Line Limited, March, 1967. Sigsilver". Includes postcard of a ship portrait of the ship. Captain Roy Jenkins of Aber-porth (1929-2013), was her first master. She was a somewhat problematic ship as she suffered terribly from vibration in her superstructure. On her maiden voyage her entire radar, aerials, etc. on top of the bridge structure fell off into the sea, and Capt. Jenkins had to complete the voyage with compass, sextant, chronometer and chart, 19th century-style!
