Ships Papers

[RonHowell]

Could anybody translate the attached papers I found in a cabin of a large sheerlegs lifting barge. I located them, I think, whilst serving on HMS Corunna in 1956/57. We were having a refit close to the deserted barge, my memories are vague about the location, I have had the papers in an album since and I would like to find out what they are.
Any help please.

Hi Ron, I would hazard a guess that they are Lloyds [Insurance] Registration Certificates.

My German isn't up to much but I`d say it was a certificate for work done on an Anchor "Anker" and Anchor Head "Ankerkopf" .

You will notice there are weights and measurements in the docs.

I reckon you are right Dave, maybe someone could give me some information about the vessel and indeed if it was in Malta in 1956/57, it would solve a puzzle for me.
