Black prince
The FRed Olsen Black Prince went into service on October 1966 and is still in service. She is a Class1 passenger vessel. She has had a few upgrades.
She was sailing from Greenock for a while. A nice passenger ship, not like todays rubbish. 44 years old.

Hullo Gulliver,
Some good photos there, I remember that lovely little ship very well, I sailed on her as 2nd Cook & Baker and also as Chief Cook. I can't tell you the dates at the moment as I am in Brasil, ( I never Winter in the UK these days ) but I shall look in my old discharge books when I get home in April. 2011.
Cheers, Archie.
