Dear Enzo
Good idea to celebrate the birthday!
According to yard records she was delivered June 25 1974, and she should have this month and year on the Builder's Plaque. Afraid it might be impossible to find out the exact day when she was launched.
Kind regards
Lars

Thank you very much,
unfortunately we have no more the plaque,
probably someone keep it.
We will do the birthday, probably in Ionian Sea,
and will invite all of you…
Thanks.
Fair wind.

Dear Professor,

i‘d like to chime in here, as i have the same question. Is it possible to find out the delivery date of 47/013 (then Quailo, now Vera)? Our builders plaque is gone too, don‘t know why or where. Some former owner must have taken it. Any news about new builders plaques for old S&S swans?

Kind regards, Michael 47013

Dear Michael
47/013 was delivered May 6 1976.
As far as I know new plaques are not available from the yard. It appears they become collector's items too.
Kind regards
Lars

Dear professor, thank you heartily for this information. I think I‘ll look into the possibility to having a replica cast of the bronce plaque. (Maybe somebody else in the forum might be interested, too). Do you think this would be illegal, copyrightwise etc.?
To get going, I‘d need the exact dimensions of the original plaque incl. its diameter, maybe a good photograph.

Best regards, Michael
