The date is correct but time is unknown and the time shown here is only our best estimate 		BENGLOE ( 1961 - 1978 General cargo liner 550 feet long of Ben Line, Edinburgh, Scotland : 1978 scrapped at Hong Kong) Own Page

BENGLOE at Southend-on-Sea (Thames Estuary, England) for Suez (Egypt)
Ship's locationSouthend-on-Sea (on north side of Thames Estuary, 40 miles (64 km) from central London, England)Port of RegistryLeith (Scotland, UK)
Sailing forSuez (Egypt) .. the southern exit from the Suez Canal which leads to the Red Sea

Why would BENGLOE and BENARMIN both, at the same time, be at Southend on the Thames Estuary (near London, England) obviously loading for Suez (Egypt)  ?    Any suggestions, please.
