She was built as Finnlark and still had a sauna on the boat deck when I was there!! Five stainless steel tanks. We carried synthetic latex from UK to Helsinki and backloaded Talloil from Sweden to UK.

I would not have fancied the trip to the Falklands as she was very slow after having sponsons fitted to improve her stability !
