Yes she is still going strong, she ws retired early 1977 and then preserved.

Does tug William C.Daldy survive into preservation?

Clive makes a very good point. Ships should be compared and judged taking into consideration the purpose for which they were, or are built . Together with technology of the time.

There's no real point in making comparisons between an ocean liner built for speedy transoceanic voyages 50 years ago with vessels built purely for leisurely cruising today.
There was nothing at all awkward about her lines, indeed, this view shows perfectly well just how simple and refined they were. This ship was a modernised version of her fleet mates Orcades, Oronsay and Orsova. She was fast and efficient and a supreme example of British design and shipbuilding.

Granted her lines were a bit awkward, but still liteyears more shipshape than any of the epic boxboats! mrdot.
