Ahoy Simon,
I did a couple of trips ( AB ) on this ship in the 70s, running between Grangemouth and Finland.

Ah yes, UBC - I have very fond memories of them, in particular the Baltic Star on which I was third mate when she was the London/Leningrad ferry.

I was working on the venture at about the time this picture was taken. I wonder if there are any more full shots of the old girl!

Aye, UBC indeed

Enjoyed a brief spell in the mid-90's on the Baltic Eider and the Baltic Tern. Great trips, good crowd and all very enjoyable!

Coincidentally saw the old "BALTIC EIDER" now re-named the "ELDER" running in and out of Algeciras in July this year. Looked a wee bit forlorn and tatty.
