Hi Peter
Always was a good looking ship, I wish I had a £ for every time I was with my Dad when he towed her off the Tyne commissioners quay on a Saturday afternoon.

She never was one to hang about.

Saw her laid-up and looking very sad, but cannot remember where.

Gut feeling says it was Naples but not sure.

Nice pictures of a very smart ship.
