and back on the Tyne again, leaving North Shields. Sorry no date on photo.

I was looking at the other photos above and I had just about convinced myself that there were two different ships being shown. Very similar, but noticably different hawse arrangements. However a check on Miramar, confirms just the one, but as Paul pointed out she was lengthened in 1995 and perhaps they were changed as part of the modifications.

As DANA MAXIMA after rebuilding 23/09/1995 arriving Immingham dock. Originally built to the maximum dimensions for Grimsby, she was lengthened and modified when the service moved to Immingham.
