Great shot BOBBY,
She always fascinated when I was in and out of Holyhead, macgregor hatches and a stern door, sometimes when we were on dead ships ( maintenance but no galley) we would be sent round to the Hibernia or Cambria for a hot meal from their galley and on a couple occasions the Slieve Donard, liked them all but the Donard was one of my favourites. When I was deep sea the railway boats took a lot of slating from the super sailors, but most just never knew what a variety of ships that outfit had. I know it's insignificant but I enjoyed them back then and glad I got the chance to sail in them, it all added to the variety.
