    Does anybody know the whereabouts of the 1938 built "BYMAR", taken over by the USN in 1941, renamed 'USS Peridot' and which after the war had a number of owners including the owner of the famous UK Tramp Ship Company, The Bank Line, and the head of Philippine Airlines after 1967.

    Last heard of as "Al-Mojil 5" owned by Mohammed Al-Mojil of the Saudi Arabian Construcyion and Offshore Services group.

    Many Thanks.:)

    Thanks mate,
    That was pretty quick.
    Sure looks like the one, but I am a little confused by some of the detail.
    Is she now the "Mata Hari" as the last name on the list, or the "Mata", the name on the top of the file card??
    Is there an owner?
    Can I expand the thumbnail, if so, how?

    Many thanks.

    I'm guessing MAHA = MAta HAri

    website that has been posted apparently by her skipper at the time!!
