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. ♍🇵🇱👍

That ship's horn sounds like something out of a Tom & Jerry cartoon! 😂 Lovely vessel though. I used to live about 10 minutes from Southampton docks, and had a hand in the building of the Fawley Oil Terminal.

Just loved the engine room and bridge, plenty of brass and quality polished timber. That cruise ship looks like a floating Miami apartment block, give me the old Arcadia any day!

There was a comedy song in my youth about this ship - The SS S***haul. really does need to be preserved, there is the Steam Trawler Lydia Eva out of Great Yarmouth, although thats now a museum ship.

Many years ago I donated my old sight reduction tables to this ship. I wonder if they are still on the bridge? However being a coastal vessel I don't suppose that they have seen much use!

Whitonia is not an aggregate carrier, she carries bunker oil for the ships in the Solent ports.

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.

So telegraph on stand by, presumably main engine in view running, unusual if not direct drive. Am I missing something?

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.

G'day to you! I thought it would have been nice to see a long shot of the ship to get an idea of what it looks like ,instead of snippets of different parts of her, a bit annoyed about it!

Glasgow's 'toley boat' - 'its terrible aroma will have you in a coma...' Shieldhall is an area of Glasgow was where one of the sewage works was situated. Another was Dalmarnock, which also gave its name to another sewage ship.
