Hi everyone,
Among a bunch of photos that recently arrived is a photo of a passenger ship that I'm trying to put a name to. Unfortunately, the name on the bow is a little too blurred to make out but I think it is "XXXXXXX of XXXXXXX". Alas, no date or anything on the reverse to help so am hoping this is one that the knowledgeable folks on Sips Nostalgia can help with. Many thanks

Thanks John. I see she was scrapped in 1974 when I was only 4 years old!

You know it's sad,So many ship types and no models. It's just like Motoryachts, if it ain't well known in type or work don't bother with it.Sad really!

Unknown ship, hoping the experts can help.
