Massive ship

[Tony Taylor]

The press is at it again today with Daily Express headline - Massive ship splls 1800 ltrs fuel oil in Las Palmas.
It is actually an 8000 ton cargo ship, they dont show the readily available photo of the actual ship but another pic of "cargo ships" in the port (actually drill ships).

Talk about idle, lazy headline grabbers.

It may have appeared massive 70 years ago to the bum boat men of Port Said Tony. But was then about the average size of a tramp steamer. The author of the story didn’t have the surname of Robey, or McTavish did he and maybe an illegal immigrant ? Cheers JS.
