One of Albert Weller's poorer quality slides, taken on the Manchester Ship Canal, dated circa August 1975:

In fact, however, I can put an exact date on this one (and several others to follow later). It was 12 July 1975 and I was on the same trip, so there must have been a small party from Teesside Ship Society over there on that occasion. My stern view:

I was then to see her again, in Central Dock, Hartlepool, on 16 April 1978:
