I hired on at the Gulf Oil Port Arthur Refinery in 1975. I worked maintenance on/around the docks for over 6 years (1977-1984). I've seen the Gulf Pride at the docks numerous times over the years. I've even talked to some of its crewmen when they would come to our smoking pen. I don't remember any of their names... She was still coming in to dock as of 2015 when I retired. I know this isn't much info, but it does serve to let you know that this proud ship is still (as far as I know) in service.
