Looks like she is recently out of drydock given the cleanliness of her hull
Proper coastal tramp, she and QUEENSLAND never had a CEGB contract like HIGHLAND
We had the stores contract for S&C and every 3 months we would go to some British port with a big shop for her
Remember going to Leith as a passenger for her
