Very simplistic built, but did what they were designed for. Only one of the two lifeboats had a motor, the port one was fitted with oars and sail only. As can be seen on this photo, TAKARA, unlike her sisters, also had a side ramp on the port side, which was seldom used. Being of little use, and expensive to maintain, the port side ramp was eventually welded shut.
I sailed briefly onboard her in her last year, when she was "DR ACE", and owned by a Korean company, by then she was completely worn out...
But picture and vessel looks nice in this picture :-)
