Description: | Scale: 1:150. Anchor for the full hull shipbuilder's model of the John E Hyde (1951), a bulk carrier.
CA: AAB.
This model depicts the same vessel as another model in the NMM?s collection (SLR1645), which shows the John E Hyde (1951) as originally built , as an oil tanker, in Sweden. This model, depicts the vessel following its conversion in 1961 to a bulk carrier for Rederi A/B Tankoil of Gothenburg.
The Japanese shipyard, Kure Shipbuilding and Engineering Company, lengthened and widened the John E Hyde's hull and strengthened the holds to take bulk cargoes. Only large shipyards can undertake this sort of complicated conversion, which involves cutting a ship in halves both longitudinally and transversely and building in additional sections. The rebuilt John E Hyde, considerably larger than before, remained a Swedish-owned ship until her sale in 1965 to Sheldon Bulk Carriers Inc. and she was renamed Silver Pagoda.
