Though the ship was scheduled for a drydock inspection in January, the visit was postponed. The Queen, one of the T-2 tankers of World War II vintage, had a characteristic "weak back," and had to be checked carefully for keel fractures. The drydock inspection was postponed, said Fike, because Texas Gulf Sulphur Co., to whom the ship was chartered, "was behind in its orders of sulphur. The captain was surprised and disappointed...
