ARMSTRONG, MITCHELL & CO., NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, 1896 the laminated and carved hull with lowered companionway painted with lined decks with detailed gilt deck fittings including anchors with studded chain and winches, bitts, ventilators, deck rails, lamp houses, companionways, gantry with rails, covered oil hatches, cutaway masts with derricks, raised superstructure with bridge, glazed wheel house with open helm and telegraph over, fire buckets, engine room with lights and cutaway funnel and extension pipes, fitted boats in davits and much other fine detail, finished in pink, black and white and mounted on four plated columns to display base with builder's plates and contained within original glazed mahogany case with table. Overall measurements -- 52½in x 113 x 24in. (133.3 x 287 x 61cm.); Case -- 31in. (79cm.) high ~~*~~ Both these 4,893 tankers were transferred to Shell in 1898. On 13th March, 1902, the tanker Bulysses grounded badly during a sandstorm whilst in Kabret (Great Bitter Lake), Egypt. Nerite came to her assistance with the plan of drawing off some oil, proceeding to Suez to deposit it in tanks and return until the stranded ship was light enough to float off the sandbar. In their wish to make haste, Nerite's crew filled her tanks to the brim without taking into account oil expansion in heat. The cargo burst the aft coffer dam and the oil flowed freely into the stokehold setting the ship ablaze. A total loss, she was towed to Genoa for breaking and Shell built another of the same name in 1904 which lasted until 1931; Cowrie enjoyed a normal career and was broken in 1929.
