Re: Beautiful Port Line Ships
I heard many years ago that the Beauty Point Hotel Burned down, It was made of wood when we were there and painted it in 1955, and then it was re built, Does anyone know ???

Re: Beautiful Port Line Ships
Re: #12. Scanned a few old photos. I was the youngest on the Lowlander but who knows there may be some old shipmates in them. I am still in touch with Colin Duke of the Port St John and later Dominion Monarch and Gothic. I was not on the DM.

A few more Photos of old shipmates.
With the lads we were off to the local dance hall. Was it the Orange Ballroom or was that in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne? R.

Are ye sure Michael, no blue ovals on any radiator and looks like Holden (H) badges on the radiator, looks larger than the UK Cortina/Consul, not saying they are not Cortinas but see no blue ovals, but I bow to your local knowledge
