    And we Poles have got here the last classic steam engine driven freighter. Having been put to service around the Trafalgar Day in 1949, she remained active until Dec. 1980 and now carries on as museum ship at Gdańsk/Danzig. In Flensburg they've got their Alexandra, a passenger steamer from 1908, to say nothing of the Skibladner from Norway. ♍🇵🇱👍

    I worked on that bloody thing, it was a right laugh, the mate and chief engineer were right twats but everyone else well apart from Richard were a good laugh. Dave the Cox who looked like some refugee from Israel, Gus the second who had a lovely ground up restored Riley, Lead Head who you always knew was working the engines as the change over in the boilers was always putting out enough smoke to make those in Rome had a dead pope. Then Mick from Manchester Pat x 2 from the Falkland isles and Nick Donoruma from Woolston who was a diamond of a geezer in the deck dept, Dave the Chef and for the life of me I can't remember the captains name, an Irish gentleman who had a wicked sense of humour. Every day the Bovril boat would sail forth to the dumping grounds do her circle of shyte then return to Southampton for a fresh load and off she would go again. In drydock I ended up going quite literally everywhere on that ship from inside the boilers cleaning out the tubes to buoyancy spaces cleaning, chipping, painting. Although if anyone from the submarine would like to say why they popped up in the brown ring I would love to know why.

    I would have been 12 when it began operations. I recall seeing it on days during the school holidays when I picnicked with the family on the shores of the R Clyde. Also recalled is the last remaining ocean-going paddle steamer 'Waverley' which plied on the river then as well. Not forgetting 'Talisman', 'Jeanie Deans' and 'Queen Mary II' - this last had steam turbines driving propellors instead of paddles.
