suilven

The added structure around the funnel dodn't look as though it would survive in a good storm

I originally posted this in B/W early in my time at SN. I was on the Aratere headd for Wellington. Tory channel is just behind the ridgeline and Suilven is approaching from the south.

Seen at Savusavu 8/4/11, a Roro-Ferry, does anyone know her history and that is about what she might become, as the owners are not taking further bookings for her, at this stage. There was some very casual loading and unloading happening through out most of the day, Fiji style.

Postcard of Suilven bought at collectables fair. Saw her at Wellington early 2000's. Suilven Built: 1974 Moss Rosenberg, Moss Tonnage: 1,908gt Owners: Caledonian/MacBrayne
