This view shows two break-bulk freighters, the MVs Dracula and Tocansa, lying across the ends of several small dry docks in the ship repair facilities of Lisbon harbour in late 1971. Note how high both are riding in the water, with large acreages of boot topping showing.
The Tocansa was apparently a one-off motor ship built by Atelier et Chantiers de la Loire-Normandie in Nantes, France, for the Compagnie de Transports OcƩaniques. Named after an island off the coast of Brazil, she was in service from 1958 to 1975. She was 144.8m in length with a beam of 19m and displaced 8,539 grt.
Courtesy of [https://www.flickr.com/photos/patalavaca], below, I've now some information on the 10,666 grt Dracula. She was completed in June 1961 by Kieler Howaldtswerke at Kiel, Germany, under the name Ringulv. In 1969 her name changed to Dracula and in 1970 she was owned by the French Compagnie Maritime des Chargeurs Reunis & Compagnie Asiatique de Navigation. In 1971, presumably around the refit seen being undertaken above, she was transferred to the Societe Navale Chargeurs Delmas-Vieljeux. In 1973 her name was changed to Ogooue and in 1976 to Captain Pappis, before the final name change to Granikos in 1980. She was sold to Chinese breakers in 1984.
Taken by a relative returning to the Far East by ship after a mid-tour leave, this image was scanned from a slide and worked on in Photoshop and Lightroom.
The dry docks are still in place today and visible on GoogleEarth, although the area appears derelict on 2018 imagery.
Dracula stalks his prey during the open air theatre production. The play moved around parts of the abbey so visitors could get a good look at it. Ironically this actor also played Van Helsing - chief enemy of Dracula. There was a funny moment during the play when the audience was asked what Dracula looked like. One little boy shouted - he looks just like you!

"Noted primarily as a sports portrait painter, Arthur K. Miller created this piece in 2014. The banner has been intentionally distressed for a vintage look with exceptional results. Inspired by the 1931 film Dracula, the banner features Bela Lugosi in the title role."
