Buenos dias Argentina!

Here is an old memory from 1973, when the Polish MAKOLAGWA (1955/184 grt) left the Baltic for Argentina as SANTA ANGELA. She was one of a fleet of similar vessels that were sold to Argentina. I took the photo at Kiel when she took provisions for the trip.
Do you know whether she is still afloat?



Best regards
