Hi All

Does anybody remember them? My records date from 1968 when they only had about 3 ships left.

However they did try to diversify into aircraft and package travel which I believe was their final undoing.

Couple of pics of Tristars the leased attached

I seem to remember a Court Line ship that dropped the hook at the entrance to the Mersey just after Court Line went bust. They threatened to sink it in the middle of the channel if they weren't paid. They were all owed months of wages, and on top of that the receiver was threatening to make them pay all their advances, the advances being loans owed to the company.
Can anyone confirm that and tell the name of the ship?
