NATICINIA

Jack Willis

The NATICINA  of Shell Tankers was one of the largest vessels to be seen on the Thames in about 1970. She had a gross tonnage of 59316 tons and a deadweight of 115600 tons. She was built in 1967 and scraped in 1993. She was on the Tilbury Repair Jetty when I took this photo. I remember going on board and the engine room was was huge.

  • HI Jack. just came across this picture of the Naticina in Tilbury for repairs. I was actually serving aboard at this time. Great memories of this fantastic ship.
