    Not the same ship, unknown vsl has crane pedestals looks like on center line, Sunrise has crane pedestals on Stb'd side. Also Sunrise has crane turrets and jibs painted yellow, unknown vsl looks like has cranes painted black or other darker colour. There are other dissimilar features between both vsls also.

    Good point John, i think we all have hung on to the rope tail with at least a worried frown, and waiting for that wire to start to sing, kt

    Yes, I think that we were all waiting for that small chain, with the knot you had put in not to break considering at times you had 15,000 tons or more of ship pulling against it; and don't forget that other very important use of the chain stopper...derusting rails, what a good job it did in both modes, one was silent, one was noisy, mind you the silent one would have been bloody noisy if the knot had slipped!
