Suprised to find only a couple of shots of her on the site. They may be ugly and unloved but I can't see this generation being around for much longer. She is 27 years old - if she was a general cargo vessel or a bulker of this age, there would be massive interest.........but for the unloved car carrier.........Oh well............
First day's outing with new EOS450D.........very impressed so far.

COMMENT THIS PHOTO(1)
I took an on-board tour on her in 1987 in Vancouver harbour. She was used as a temporary "car lot" for a novelty dealer sale. She did attract a lot of people.
Cheers,
Leigh
