Heavy Lifts There is a note of the ship loading 3 launches from .(Mechano/Medano ..?)...own gear . We cannot decipher what the unknown word means. ...... A Manson replies : Clan MacIntosh would have loaded these launches by the ship's heavy lift derricks hence "own gear"   Perhaps you, the reader, can advise on the "Mechano / Medano ?

She sailed on 12th July at 0808 for Chittagong via Birkenhead.
