| The IMO is correct. The Collena, became the Glen Rushen FD221, itself guite heavily converted. Later she became the Omega B FD221, with more conversion. After quite a few years, she was substantially altered to her final appearance as the Sunnano. When I first saw the Sunnano, and learned it used to be the Collena, I couldn't believe it either. |

| Yes you are right Allan, they are two different ships. |

Something's not right here. This is nothing like the other pics of a ship of the same name. I suspect the IMO is incorrect somewhere.

| I can remember that was the case. She certainly took a pounding heading North to Faroe. My bunk was right up forward, so I was very aware of that. |

| I think there was about 13. But, I am not sure as it seems a long time ago. Saying that, when we went into Klaksvik, Faroe, that trip. There was enough crew to make up a football team, we then played the locals at football. We got beat by the Faroese team, who had an advantage, by not playing in Rubber thigh boots, and who were about half the age of most of the crew. |

| On my last trip on the Collena, we were fishing off the Faroe Islands. One day, during the 17 day trip, as I was working on deck, the mate pointed to a fish lying on deck. He told me to take it to the cook, in order for him to cook it for our dinner. The strange orange fish with spikes, didn't look very edible. But, as I was only 18 years old, and very low in the food chain, I thought I had better do as I was told. As soon as I picked up the fish, it immediately inflated until it looked like an orange spikey football, with two eyes, which appeared to look quite angry. Anyway, I carried it into the galley and handed it to the cook. Who then looked at me, like he was Captain Mainwaring and I was Pike from Dads Army. The phrase "stupid boy" was missing. However, the look on the cooks face, says he was thinking those words. |
