That's a good find. NYMPHE - see: http://www.teesbuiltships.co.uk/furness ... he1954.htm

I saw her up on the Clyde during June 1964.

Thanks for the "gen" gentlemen. Not one of my better slides but more interesting with your information to hand.

Not one of your better slides! Well it learned me something. The crane you have shrewdly used as a frame was built by Clarke Chapmans which is unusual as Stothert & Pitt of Bath were the usual makers. On many of the pictures here, the backgrounds are often just as interesting, I look forward to more of your none better slides.
