Whoops, Cunard's Ivernia, became Franconia, Then sold to Russia to become Fedor Shalyapin, then Salona for her final voyage to Alang in 2004. and the Saxonia was renamed Carmania by Cunard when the pair were made into cruise ships. She also ended up in Russia as Leonid Sobinov, scrapped in 1999 also at Alang

Rushie,
Are they Stern Anchor housings where the mooring lines are??
Just checked out a pic in Nicholas Caris's book..'Passenger Liners of the World since 1893' and the shot of the FRANCONIA from 3/4 stern on shows a beautiful classic Cruiser Stern and NO anchor!! Painted White however.

Hi David,
I presume so, they use both bow and stern moorings. The lay up moorings have been moved since this photo, they're now on the left side of the bank, and there are also some more around the corner to the right of the Cunarders.
They are used quite often, the last 2 ships being the Pride of Pompey and Pride of Le Harve before they were sold. The best I've seen are 5 reefers at a time, and I'll scan some photos in over the next few days.
Cheers,
Rushie
