Steamship Miquel M. de Pinillos

The steamer Miguel M. de Pinillos was built at the J. Laing shipyard in Sunderland (England) on commission from the shipowners Pinillos, who received it in 1885. Technical details: length 109 m., beam 13.79 m., depth 9,43 m., total tonnage 2,999 t. (2,125 nett), and powered by 1200 hp motors at a speed of 11 knots. It was used for the Caribbean line, which it subsequently sailed for over 30 years almost without incident. However, after the Great War (and a period in which it was moored at port) the shipowner Pinillos sold it to the Basque shipowners Abrizqueta & Compañía, who renamed it Juan Abrizqueta. The vessel sailed for a further three years until it was scrapped in Holland in 1923.
