    I always thought MacAndrews ships were quite pretty, I was on the VALDIVIA for a while.

    To me they were very pretty if there was plenty of overtime.

    Mac Andrews were certainly good for overtime, i was on the Palacio and the Verdaguer, all white hulls, as soon as the tugs had pushed us alongside, stages over the side with the paint brushes, kt

    Was very jealous of the looks of the Norske Johnson line ships on west coast run. Looked very sleek and were very fast. The Bakke boats on the WA to BC run were also very good looking.

    Hi Dennis, they wernt pretty ships they were big floating work houses on deck. I was on the Tasmania, Adelaide, Dunedin and New Zealand. hard graft on those and all the Bosuns thought they were hard cases. Only the runs were good.
    Only the funnel was pretty, and I painted a few .
    Cheers
    Brian.

    Not mentioned? Only on one for a costal move and spent the whole time with my back to the bulkhead. Thought that UCL was full of them, that was until I went to Blue Star.

    Fine ships but nothing "pretty" about a Blue Star ship.
