Menelaus

Businesslike, purposeful, practical, impressive.

.......and a great ship to sail in, even with a yellow funnel (ED)!
See my pic of MV MANO in the gallery. Same vessel!!!

Dave,

I was cadet on the Rhexenor (formerly Maron) in 1977. We berthed in Glasgow and out came the paintbrushes.....M boat became O boat! She was renamed Opobo, still looked like a Bluey though!

At the same time the Mano also had a visit from the paint fairies and became the Oti, a nice short name to paint!

Regards

Allan

Did I not read somewhere that when the four hatch forward M class came out they had to raise the wheelhouse as could not see over the bow when light?
