Ikeja Palm/61

Postby Palmship » Thu May 30, 2013 6:29 pm

Hi All,

I've enjoyed looking through the forums and especially seeing all the photo's of the Palm Line ships so I thought it was about time to contribute something back. I apologise in advance I am not a very good photographer and the quality could possibly be better. The shot was taken in September 1980 in Tees dock.

Regards
Graham

Thanks fot this Graham, all photos welcome .... this is how many of us saw the ships, just from the quayside and dodging between rail wagons and trucks!

Just a tip, after uplooading a photo put the cursor below your message and then use the 'place in line' command, then upload, then the 'attachment' border does not appear.
