COMMENT THIS PHOTO(5)
I just made a comment on the other photo of this ship.....and her sister ship "Causeway" which also served in the Falklands conflict.
On the recent 30th anniversary of that avoidable conflict, may I repeat what Derek said on his original posting:
Let's remember the losses suffered by both sides in the Falklands.
And let us remember to avoid such unnecessary conflicts as best we can.
R.I.P. all those casualties of human failure.

Fantastic images of this former ACL containerships, with the same name then the current ACL fleet.
We didn't know the story that she sank at the Falklands war. Sad story.

Thanks very much for your nice comment.
Sad for both nations that so many men lost their lives. A sad end for this nice ship too.
