NEM Doxford 670LBD4 engine. Number 3420. Could be mistaken for a Bank Liner. Nice photo

Mmmm she does have that look about her.

Cept Bartrams never built for Bank Line as far as I can see.

Nice looking ship, not sure that the pale blue funnel did anything for her though.

Looking very smart but a tight fit!
