I sailed on this ship in the 70,s as lamptrimmer (bosuns mate)she was one of the best ships I was ever in.

Enjoy looking at your photos David, it's like a glimpse of life at sea in the 1960's..... very nostalgic.

Hey there!
Yep. Blue Star vessels were really something of their own kind.

Classical funnel.

The Blue Star Line ships were overall recognizable and impressive at that time. I remember looking at them with much admire at Tilbury docks from the deck of my ship.

How proudly they carried their funnels!

Exactly what I would say about this, another wonderful snapshot of yesterday's merchantman! mrdot.

Fantastic shot of a classic merchantman!
