I was a young deckboy on the old Iron Spencer about 1976, I remember she was built to last(Rivets). We joined her in Beauty Point in Tassy after she'd been laid up for a while and was on her for about 6 months. I think the Bosun's name was Billy Kelso !!!

What a great shot of Iron Spencer! She was a nice looking ship in her time. I would love to get hold of a set of plans of her to build a model. Great pic!

Peter
