    EX British Rail 'Sealink' Ferry - 'HENGIST' (1972) was one of several old timers found alive and kicking in Greece today. Here she is in all her glory? Looking not a lot different to she always did :)

    Pity its not Lord warden or Invicta or indeed one of her lovely looking steam sisters thats been found.

    Sad to hear that the turbine steamer "Dover" ex Earl Siward has been sold for breaking in Turkey.

    Soon there will be nothing!

    Unless it was a King class which reputedly could float due to the amount of corks in the motion!!!
