Auke,
I just came across your web site on T2 Tanker and saw that you were lookin for photos of the Bushy Run. I sailed as 3rd Engineer on the Gulflion (ex Bushy Run) back in 1980 and took the attached pictures. They were taken with a Kodak Instamatic camera so they are of medeocre quality, but you are welcome to use them on your web site.
