SS Gem State
On the 17th December 2022 the 'SS Gem State' (1966, 17,729DWT) is seen in Tor Bay. Built for American President Line as the cargo liner 'President Monroe' the vessel is now part a crane ship in the US Military Sealift Command Ready Reserve fleet based in California. The ship is powered by two steam turbines and the last time it was activated was during the Iraq conflict and has recently been operating in Germany. It is thought to heading back to states and perhaps is sheltering for a few days? Anyhow a very nice early Christmas present.
