Notes:

On my 80th birthday my daughter gave me a framed photograph of my first ship - Empire Orwell. During lockdown I began to collect postcards and photos of all the other ships - 35 in total - but need a few more to complete the project. These are: Tor Belgia, Tor Felicia, Bar Protector and Lord Strathcona.Anyone know where I can purchase any of these please?

James I sailed with Tor Line on the Tor Caladonia and was on the Belgia when we took it to Alborg Denmark after being sold to the Italians. Your dis number is before mine as I only joined the MN after my National Service in the Royal Signals. Rgds Den

Hi Jim,

I'll have a look to see if I have one.
