Nice photo Bob. The good old times Best regards Frank

Hi Bob,
No offense, don't get me wrong!
But I imagined they covered it up somehow to make it look nicely for the launch-ceremony.
Cheers,
Roy

Now why on earth would I want to hide the hawspipe with photoshop? View the photo on "Full Screen" and take a close look just above the draught marks. There's a round plate or cover in the place where the anchor is going to be.

Ok Bob, but then where's the hawse pipe?
Looks like some early form of photoshopping.
Cheers,
Roy

The anchor was yet to be fitted!

Hi Bob,
Where is the anchor gone?
Nice historic picture.
Cheers,
Roy
