Ahj, ha a "Bovril Boat" - Despite their somewhat less than salubrious trade in the Thames out to the Sunk they were very smart and well maintained ships and had a small fortune spent on maintaining them to a very high standard. To get a berth aboard one of these ships was virtually impossible and I've even heard of Extra Masters serving as Second Mates. The most modern Effluent Tanker on this run was the "THAMES" which I always thought was a very good looking vessel. The "SIR JOSEPH BAZALGETTE" was one of the earlier class but not much different to the NEWHAM" Class. .
