"Esso Freeport", ex. "Esso Saba", a wire photo.

Dubai.
The Gulf, Nov. 16 th 19??. The Exxon owned tanker "Esso Freetown", pictured thirty miles (30) off Ras al-Khaimah
Monday after it had been attacked by Iranian gunboats. The 260,851 ton tanker was steaming towards the Straith of
Hormuz with minor damage after four or five rocket propelled grenates had been fired at it. Only one hit was vissible
in the hull, but the hit had not pierced the ship. The "Esso Freeport" was one of three merchant ships to be attacked
in two days in apparent retailiation for twelve Iraqi attacks on Iranian oil exports.

Dubai.
Perzische  Golf, 16 Nov. 19??. De Exxon tanker "Esso Freetown", afgebeeld dertig mijl (30) van Ras al-Khaimah.
Maandag, nadat het was aangevallen door Iraanse kanonneerboten. De 260.851 tons tanker vaart naar de Straat van
Hormuz met lichte schade na vier of vijf raket aangedreven projectielen. Slechts een raakte de romp, maar
doorboorde de scheepshuid niet. De "Esso Freeport" was een van de drie koopvaardij schepen die werden aangevallen in twee dagen tijd, na twaalf Iraakse aanvallen op Iraanse olie-export.
