I agree Vic. All White looks best on fine-lined Reefer 'Fruit Boats' like Salen or Elders and Fyffes etc.

Indded so, she does not look like the old Transvaal like that, more reminding one of a Hospital Ship without the Hospital Logos!

Yes,undoubtedly,Bryan-lovely profile,but she certainly doesn't suit all-white!

The empress ships of Canadian Pacific were all white and looked very smart, the small Beaver boats were also all white and smart looking.
