St Ninian

She was indeed a beautiful boat. Call letters GJJB.

I think you're wrong, Jim, the best looking one was the St.Clair 2, built 1937.

I had swidered about that John, but possibly as the best of that era before the lumpy car ferry boats entered service. Spewed my muggie many times on the S.S. St Clair!

None of us are old enough to have seen her, but the North Company's second St. Sunniva of 1931 is considered to be one of the best looking ships ever built.

I should have said the best looking that I had seen, although James Webster has a point re SS St Clair. (See your excellent model) My first leave home from MN was on St Magnus, berthed (?) down forward, I had been all round the world twice and other places besides ( I cannot remember who first said that to me, but always sounds good!) and was sick as a dog. Never actually got over mal de mer, OK on a small boat out at Waster Skerry at the shotting when we kept moving, but ten minutes after we stopped and bummled in the swell I was over the side. In MN was mostly OK down in the engine room on watch, except maybe for first day out of port, but at end of watch used to run around the mandatory steering gear inspection in the poop when it was rising 30 odd feet up and down.
Any stories of sea asickness to come?
