Heading up the River Neath to Briton Ferry. Built 1990 in Holland.

Another to add to the many of this unfortunate liner. A mid accommodation detail and funnel.

As it's the 60th anniversary of her maiden voyage, this from an old SEA BREEZES in the Splendid Ships series.

She ran her trials on the Clyde in February 1949 and this is the shot I've had for years and years of her with the snow covered Arran hills as a spectacular backdrop.

Another view of her at rest during her trials.

MAGDALENA loading in the Royal Docks in London for her maiden voyage. This was to be a great day as this was Royal Mail's first post war ship signifying their return to normality after a horrendous 6 years.

A rather sad picture of the after part of the Royal Mail liner following her grounding and breaking off the South American coast on her maiden voyage in 1949. I can't remember offhand all the cir***stances. Found this in the depths of the hard drive-the report into the grounding http://www.plimsol
