One of Blue Funnel's super P ( Priam) class in Glen Line livery.
The poor delivery record from Vickers Walker and John Brown on this Priam class made Blue Funnel move to the last two being built by Mitsubishi Japan. The romance with Blue Funnel and British yards was over.

This was the most clapped out of the Super P's on the Blue Sea service when sold. Everyone was most surprised as they thought that she would most probably go for scrap, but there you have it!
