After tank cleaning I found hull weld failures in two of the main tanks. Not long after that, the next trip she was sent for scrap (a great ship, wish i'd kept my mouth shut)

the holospira,aka San Felipe,was my first'joe boat'.Father was Capt.Harrison,from
the Scottish islands,one of the few good ones Icame across in the eight years I
Was with Shell.She was a happy enough ship,my first time out East, had a ball.
Would like to hear from anyone who remembers me.
