The tractors in her cargo were most likely built in the factory of Massey-Ferguson in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire - not very far from Ardrossan Harbour. Eventually FIAT was sold and later owned in Suva, Fiji. In 1976 she ran aground on Myrmidon Reef near Townsville, Queensland, Australia and was a total loss |
