History
Hudson River was built by the Ailsa Shipbuilding Company 1949. Built for the Hudson Steamship Company, she had a gross tonnage of 3,128 tons and was capable of a cruising speed of 11 knots. The Hudson River had the reputation of being the last of the large coal burning colliers on the English coast. In the late 1960's she was converted to oil burning, as good quality bunkering coal was becoming hard to obtain. The noticeable lack of derricks was part of her design, since coal in that period was unloaded by dockside grabs, and this gave them clearance. For those who wish to modify the kit, the derricks were refitted in her later life, when she went on to normal cargo traffic.
