Re: Royal Scotsman
James ,i sailed on her sister ship the Royal Ulsterman my first ship as deck boy. Forecastle accommodation for the deck crew and a coal fired stove in the little messroom, and my bunk under the anchor chain pipe. I done 9 months on her and then as JOS worked very long hours ,however i must say looking back i enjoyed my time on her.
