And in all those years nobody has come up yet with a shot of her as LYNDA, an Ednasa crude tanker of just over 70000 DWT, a bit of an odd size in 1973 and probably later in life as well, so she was converted.

Wow. Are those all balcony cabins with wonderful sea views. Brilliant. I need to find out prices and book a cabin.

To me it seems that the designer of this pretty ship nowadays designs Cruise Vessels.

Bob, perhaps there is a safe & secure, air-conditioned tunnel, somewhere in that tangle of steelwork for the crew to avoid the worst of it? He said, half jokingly.

I have been searching for a decent 'aerial' view of her to check, and on this shot, running the length of the ship from bridge to aft accommodation, there seems to be a white, enclosed 'tunnel' on the uppermost deck.
Of course, it may well have another function.

It looks like a long, smelly hike for the bridge crew to get to their cabins at the end of their watch. I saw, photographed and caught a whiff of this one (under her previous name) in La Goulette, Tunisia in 2013.
