Agreed NE that's what I would call a proper Bow unlike the ugly X Bows and their derivatives.

Looks like an ORE boat over at Smiths with, what looks like, a Prince Line funnel?
We had a ship visit on either her or her sister in early 1980s when they were transferred to Brocklebank ownership
Very nice boat
