Joined this reefer as Ellermans Engineer Cadet in Middlesborough, Summer 1975.
12 cylinder Sulzer fitted 3/4 aft, against Sulzers advice. Stop fitted restricting her to around 18 knots.
Prior to the Stop being fitted, I was told she could reach 22 knots and shake herself to bits.

Only pity that these ships have gone forever.
Capturing these images requires concentration - if you wait another second; you're too late.

This Trevor Jones must have spent many fine hours under these blue skies at a spot where one can almost touch the incoming ships.

This is an absolutely gorgeous ship and equally gorgeous photograph. Just marvelous. Ship of the day and then some.

Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and this looks a much easier on the eye than the lead off most viewed vessel!

Not a very nice design, in my opinion, it looks very much like a banana. Luckily, it isn't yellow :-)
