Having seen her for myself while completing in February 1961 it was a great thrill to see her again many years later during her second stint as APOLLON, appropriately in that same river of her birth. Must dig out my views from that sighting, which might warrant adding her to my FAVOURITE SHIPS!
04.04.09 And dug them out I have! From the Tyne on 28 June 1998 - the APOLLON
