Re: Your prettiest ship
Being pretty was irrelevant, it was a happy ship that mattered.

Re: Your prettiest ship
When I think back to the old Royal Mail line ship Durango pretty she wasn,t more like an old wart hog , but great ship when I was in her and a happy ship great run great crowd what more could you ask for, [ lets not spoil it by mentioning the grub ] as soon as we arrived in BA straight ashore for beef steaks I can taste them still it brings a tear to my eye but then again most thoughts of those wonderous days do that to me regards Dave

Re: Your prettiest ship
I think my prettiest ( and happiest ) ship, would have to be the M.V. Middlesex. My lousiest would have to be the old Napier Star. Ugly as a hatful of a*******s. Sorry, I don't have pics of either of them but I'm sure you can dig some up somewhere Rodney.
