Found a better photo I took of NIPIGON and CLEOPATRA alongside Newcastle Quay.

Also, out of area, this is a photo I took in May 1993 at the 50th Anniversary celebration for the Battle of the Atlantic at Liverpool. There were meant to be some 40-50 warships from all over the world attending, with a fleet review planned off the coast of Anglesey. On the day itself it was blowing a force 8 gale and this is one of the "better" photos I managed to get.
