There was an attempt - led by Michael Grey - former editor of Lloyd's List and Fairplay - to save one of the GLENOGLE Class Glen Line ships but unfortunately her Chinese owners had sent her to the scrapyard a few months previously, without notifying Lloyd's Register, etc. But you are right, Marpacifico: the Brits should be ashamed of themselves for failing to preserve a large, conventional cargo ship from the WW2 and/or post war eras. One with a British-designed Doxford engine would have been the ideal

person

Thanks for your comments. Yes, indeed, she is one of the most beautiful cargo vessels ever built.

person

A real good picture. thanks for sharing. it is very nice that this ship could have been saved from the breakers torch and will be a part of maritime history.
on the other hand, what a pity that no other country with a great maritime history, could save a ship like that in their country, especially the british. for example one of the doxford or sunderland built bank liners http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=1336386, or the Halis Kalkavan ex Baron Graham http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=913195

Art of shipbuilding!

person

@ Sandy
Yes ,, I guess I am,, sailed old reefers too (also when this is only partial a reefer) Sure she would look better without them :-)

person

Ja, ja, Kapitän Ted aber ich denke, Sie sind ein bisschen voreingenommen. Nevertheless and notwithstanding your obvious prejudice on this matter, I agree that it is better that the ship continues to sail with brackets attached than to have been converted 30 years ago to a billion razor blades!
Prosit!

@andy
I saw them still sailing too,,those brackets do not bother me,with 10 brackets on her side she would still beat all the rest !!, nothing beats those ships by lines. They were called the white swans of the South Atlantic when I remember it right. H-Sued always builded good looking vessels

person

Thanks for your comments. Yes, I wish I could had spotted her from starebord

person

Wish they could take these mooring brackets off before she sets sail. As someone who remembers her and her sisters sailing for real, it completely ruins the nostalgia for me!

person

Congratulations on this beautiful photos of this ship, famous in Hamburg :-)

person

Thanks for your kind comments. Yes, indeed, the weather was realy good on last Saturday.

person

person
