This ship was the first to arrive at Canvey Island with it's cargo of LNG on behalf of the North Thames Gas Board. In the event the fire was a minor blaze entirely unconnected with the arrival of the Methane Pioneer but it certainly galvanized father that night. |

Joined her at Canvey Island October 1961 my first ship as EDH after a 13 month voyage on the ANADARA. We were supposed to be heading to Galvaston but instead after the discharge was completed it was decided to lay her up so we sailed to Cardiff where she was left. I think it was because the Methane Princess or Progress was being brought into service |
