Well remember this small coaster, used to load grain in Dover,probably 1980's or earlier,also seen in the Thames.
Would appreciate history or seeing any photos of this vessel.

Seen her a few times as the Anglian Trader which she traded as for around 8 years under W. Fieldgate & Sons of Colchester (as managers) but owners were R Kermath and Geoff Baker.

IMO 6609133
Built in 1966 at the Hoogezand yard in Holland

Raider 1990-present
Anglian Trader 1982-1990
Lee James 1978-1982
Sheena K 1966-1978

Reportedly still in service but I cannot find any movement of her via AIS

Many thanks for replies.
Seem to remember from somewhere that she may have  ended up as a house boat at Rochester or somewhere on the Medway.
