Mariners, Reference my previous on the Consett Iron and Steel Company vessels. I have it from books on the subject, that the following vessels were those operated by or on behalf of the company by W. Dickinson, 65 Quay, Newcastle. Which I understand to be the same as William Dickinson & Co of Newcastle. Coal and coke exporters, iron ore merchants, ship and insurance brokers, forwarding, import and export agents? BLACKHILL 143123 c.1919 CONSETT 143033 c.1919 GARESFIELD 148092 c.1924 KNITSLEY 148098 c.1937 LEADGATE 148110 c.1935 There was another GARESFIELD 129189, however the specification does not tally. There is also mention of a vessel called IVESTON - Nothing found except a Minesweeper of the same name. If anyone could add to this information please, plus any photographs, I would be most appreciative. Many thanks Rod Clayburn RSVP. Please support the St.George Foundation: www.adecentlife.org
