    Assuming we have the same ship, it has an interesting story... "Ambria was a cargo ship that was built in 1922 by Deutsche Werft, Finkenwerder for German owners. She was sold in 1934 and renamed Gumbinnen. She was sunk by a British destroyer in 1941, raised and repaired." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Ambria

    Love looking at old navy ships.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Gerard Knight I love looking at the sailors! No doubt this will lead to sniggering from some of you (you know who you are!), but look at the nonchalant leaning, the smoking, the chatting... And look at the guy in the middle on Boat 63 who's been captured in the act of drinking from a huge metal container!
