    Launched in 1953, the Guinness ships, the M.V. "Lady Gwendolen" and M.V. "Lady Grania", were the first ships in the world specifically designed for the bulk carriage of beer. Since then the Guinness fleet has added the M.V. "Lady Patricia" launched in Dublin on 11th October, 1962.
    (Ireland's Saturday Night - Saturday 06 March 1965) and
    the Ladies Grania, Gwendolen and Patricia together land 750,000 barrels of Guinness a year at Liverpool and Manchester.
    (Drogheda Argus and Leinster Journal - Saturday 01 February 1964)

    The MV Atlanta was broken up at Rainham in Essex in 1992. The owner of the shipbreaking company Mr Morez was fined £500 after an oil spillage from the ship. It turned out that a valve had been removed by thieves looking for scrap. The valve was of gun metal and of greater value then other stainless steel valves. (Chatham Standard - Tuesday 18 February 1992)

    The lovely Elinor seems to like Butt Bridge, and visited several times. I think this wonderful photo of a lad with a blanket may be the same sunny afternoon - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000048396

    I remember the Cabinetti in Naples Railway Station back in 1977. There was a hole in the floor. 2 chains hung from the roof with hoops on the end. It was quite a trick to get your feet into those hoops!

Vessel MIRANDA in dry dock/ slipway, Sydney Harbour

    This one is fun - the 'Miranda' was evidently a well-known racing yacht built in 1887 for John Henry Want, a colourful yachting identity (!). I think that is him sitting at left, the proud owner. See article about the new yacht in ATCJ 15/10/1887 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/71090170 The dry dock looks to have iron (not stone) side walls - I wonder if it was the Jubilee Dock or something similar?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    J. H. Want sold the 'Miranda' to Mr Burford of South Australia in 1894 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13977697 So this photo is likely to be 1887-1894. The gent's clothes looks right, if a bit over-dressed for messing around in boats. 'Miranda' destroyed by fire in SA 1922 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/49130890
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Aha! This article describes gentlemen yachties attending the launch of the 'Era' and then inspecting the new 'Miranda' in Rountrees Dock (another floating dock in Balmain), which might explain the fine clothes - SMH 6/12/1887 p.9 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13670808 [The 'Miranda' was also in Rountrees Dock, Balmain in October 1889 for thorough cleaning - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13746879 . Strikes me that the knobs would not have dressed up to go and see this occasion!] So possibly 5 December 1887, a Monday.
