A contributor writes: Vessel Meta was owned by Glen Line of Glasgow who operated between the U.K and Scandinavian Ports .Their inward cargo usually consisted of matches and timber and allied products Exports from Scotland at one time were the chassis of the Volvo cars which were taken to Sweden for the final completion then exported from there. A Volvo car was,as I recall, the car driven by "The Saint" in the early detective series. The META was built in the early 1930,s META sailed from Glasgow at 0900 on 20th October. |
