Thanks. My quick research located the CANDY ACE when I first posted it, but I couldn't confirm that it was the same ship. Thanks for the link, too.

Hi Cary

Nice shot, for your info some histroy of the vessel at the Blue Star website per link below. She started off life for Blue Star Line in 1965 and 2 years after yr photo was delivered to Chinese shipbreakers at Shanghai on 30.4.85.

Cheers

Brent
