What were the correct build numbers for 1951? 'Where Ships Are Born' states 28 vessels & 197,920 tons. If you can correct the data, do please contact the webmaster.

1952 Being built up from data within this site.

In Jan. 2013, a copy of 'Marine Engineer and Naval Architect', Volume 75, re the issues of Jan. thru Dec. 1952, was available via eBay. Earlier editions have contained a list of the vessels built in the year. I wonder whether that issue did so, re 1952?

A copy of Lloyd's Register for 1952/53, Volume #1, A to L, was e-Bay offered in late Mar. 2015, for GBP 24.99 or U.S. $37.00. A copy of Volume #2, M to Z, was sold via e-Bay in or about Jul. 2014 for GBP 51.99 or U.S. $84.40. Copies of both volumes were sold via eBay on Nov. 2, 2014 for U.S. $19.99 for the two of them (1).

Tritonica (a bulk carrier)

12714

Sir James Laing & Sons Ltd.

Was launched as Tritonia. Was initially owned by Dingwall Shipping Co. Ltd. of London. In 1963, the vessel became owned by Snowberry Co. Limited of & registered at Hamilton, Bermuda. 527 ft. 11 in. long, signal letters MMSI. Malcolm Bean advises (thanks!) as follows:- In 1959 I joined the MV Tritonica & did several trips from Seven Islands, Quebec, to Ashtabula, Ohio, with iron ore. We then went to Port Arthur to load grain for Antwerp, Belgium. I have recently learned that this fully laden ship collided with another one in thick fog in the St. Lawrence River & sank in 10 minutes with great loss of life in 1963. Yes indeed. Per Miramar, Tritonica collided with Roonagh Head 40 miles E of Quebec City on Jul. 20, 1963 with the loss of 34 lives. Tritonica was en route from Havre Saint Pierre to Sorel, both Quebec, Canada, with a cargo of 18,300 tons of ilmenite (titanium-iron oxide), under the command of Capt John G. Swanson. The ship's Canadian pilot was amongst those who died. Many of the crew were Taiwanese. Have read that it sank, in fact, within 8 minutes of the collision, which took place very early in the morning - at about 3 a.m. on Jul. 20, 1963. 18 bodies were recovered while 15 bodies were never found (does not add up to 34). Conde de Fontamar, a Spanish vessel, also ran into Tritonica. 'Motor Ship', in 1956, published a 6 page article about the vessel. A report of the investigation into her loss is available. Y
