Hi David, many thanks for that.
I also went to Deception Island and Elephant Island,
I was offered a `job` at Gritviken at the museum and also to help restore one of the Whalers on the beach , name VIOLA, I have the photos, for the Season with the South Georgia Heritage Trust.Dundee. but unfortunately an encounter with an elephant seal injured me so I had to have an operation when I got home so I missed the Season
SHE is shouting at the moment I will have to go
Back later
Cheers
Brian.

Interesting ship, the Balltika.
An observation/speculation.

Since her port side obviously has more drag than her starb'd, in order to sail straight ahead she will require either a bit of rudder offset, a bit of assymetric thrust or a bit of both.
Does that make sense?
