Many Thanks to Eric Hodges for the following pictures. The semi-submersible 7,500 ton Sea-Quest built in Harland & Wolff's yard at Belfast, launched in on 7th of January 1967. The rig spent ten years drilling for oil and gas in the North Sea before being sold, The rig suffered a blowout while drilling offshore in Nigeria the crew where evacuated before she caught fire. After the fire she was badly damaged and was towed out to sea and scuttled, here are the pictures.
