OK Well somebody has to dive in.....

Collier OLIVER BURY just fits in the frame as she was sold in 1970, but still looking very smart.

The ROWANMORE was Johnston Warren Lines Ltd. (1956/8,495 Gross) so might have had a Black funnel at one time but they were Managed by Furness Withy, so I suppose she is allowed to confuse. :lol:

Not quite as good as yours Malcolm, but getting there. :ugeek: :ugeek:

Thanks for putting them on the site.

As a mere youngster I would chuck in my 10p worth and say behind TYNESDIER is a Burnett SS Co. Ltd vessel and behind her is a South American Saint Line ship

Graham you are half right, it's Chapman's HERMISTON (1963-1970) ex ST. ROSARIO of 1961.
The Burnett probably GOSFORTH 1962-1972 by Hall Russell ... or maybe the earlier HOLMSIDE.

Father Ted is demonstrating some plastic toy cows to Dougal.
Father Ted: …OK, one last time. These are small… but the ones out there are far away. Small… far away…

Ted: “Would you like your pizza cut into six or eight slices Dougal?”
Dougal: “Oh just six, I don’t think I could eat eight.”

I was trying to remember what my Father Ted comment had to do with Tugs, then worked out it should have been about the EDDA FREYA. Sorry to confuse, other idiots are available. :lol: :lol: :lol:
