What a difference! Continuing to traipse around the Liverpool dock system on foot half a century ago on 7 September 1965 I saw only two ships of interest to NEM .... and I have previously shown you the JALAPANKHI! These two were out of 33 different ships photographed, out of 42 total sightings.

Yesterday (6 September 1965) - 70 sightings; 44 of them photographed, with 14 having NEM connections.
