I can still 'see' her on berth at Hartlepool 28/05/1960 although would need a dock map to show just where! Always remembered due to her seemingly odd name.

Just re-read Georges comment about her name.......It was TRUE she was the 4th.

Previous models dated from 1904, 1927, 1946 and she dated from 1960.

There was also a 5th dating from 1968.

(Mind always thought it was a funny name as well! ;) )
