Where did this ship come from in Sweden ???

Haltst…….. ?????


15 January 2020.   Bryn Wayt e-mails       A chap was asking where ship came from: the spelling was incorrect using Haltstwik on the 'docket'.

The origin of the ship must have been HALLSTAVIK in Sweden.

The place was/is famous for it paper-mill, hence the ships cargo bound for Belfast.
