Now Duncan Haws has her Launched as Halifax Star.

"The vessel had been intended to carry the name QUEBEC STAR but was changed when the ships were classed as having the names of the major ports of call on the route......"

Was that picture taken on the Tyne, George? Or is it one from your collection.
