New funnel cowl

Report and pictures by David Elms


May 1st. The new engines should arrive tomorrow. Painting is progressing well and the hull and superstructure are starting to look smart again. The bottom of the engine room is filling up with new pipework and valves, the upper sections of exhaust flue have been fitted, and the new stainless steel smoke cowl is finished apart from a coat of matt black paint. The ship is due to be refloated sometime this weekend.
