I joined her at Philadelphia on 21st February 1970 when she was discharging iron ore. She was showing her age and hard work for the engineers but was a comfortable and very happy ship to be on. Apart from our cat 'Moggy' we all signed off at Naples on 4th June 1970, when she was handed over to become Mayfair Splendour. The new Master was happy to have Moggy as his wife was about to join him and she loved cats.
