Esparto Grass Ships
Use to be a lot of Esparto Grass shipped into Methil for the paper mills. Usk ships think at least 4 of them. Myself done a few trips with Euxine, Helka, Henzee, Hendrick, small 4 hatch jobs. General cargo all over Med from continent/London,then grass back. You were right weather side in bad weather soaked grass causing some good old lists. Euxines also carried 12 passengers,good little ships,8/10 week trips.
