What a beauty she is Derek! I think I saw her as Wera Bohrnsen but she wasn't painted up this brightly. A treasure to see such a classic coaster at such a late time.

This ship called several times at Ipswich and also Rowhedge on the River Colne, where Northern Wood Terminals were operating. She was in very good nick for her age. Thank goodness one of the Ipswich dockers called me when she was on the way to the berth. We have to thank him for this shot of her.Never caught her on the move again. I was working at the port from April 1990 to June 1993.Took quite a few photo's when I should have been working!

regards
Derek
