Thanks Doc I've checked them already, because of hayfever my eyes were stuffing up so had to leave it for awhile. The Eagle was one of my 17 ships and she's about the last I don't have the details of her current situation. Most of my ships have been scrapped except for the Queen Mary and the Que2. I have a lot of the photos of my ships, a rather sad sight to see photos of your ships beached and being wrecked. Thanks mate.
