Here's a proper ship.
I did 5 months on this baby in 1985.
That's spooky it looks like the one that went down with total loss of life, named, The Derbyshire. What company was this one owned by,on closer inspection she look's like a tanker not a bulk carrier, Ex MN, also. Brian. |

 So has Ferry been cut in half and had a new bit welded in ? This could be worrying, as you are always told to be careful about cars that had been cut and joined together again - cut and shunt jobs I think there called. BUT A FERRY - THATS BIG.........

This is more like it!
In one 'recent posts' page we have:

sequinned merkins
crude carriers

I was told of this site a while ago by an old mate who works at P&O , my shock horror when i see his name on the user board , and he's a spotter..
"My favourite ship.......... Prode of Humpshire, when i worked .... blah blah blah.. "
Next time i see him......
advice will be via Brians Black n Decker.
