From: David Hodes Hi Derrick, First thanks for the info. ref the new book, my copy arrived yesterday. Looks like a wonderful read with excellent illustrations. You may already know this: I've stumbled on a link to an earlier M.L. vessel..... http://www.artificialowl.net/2008/11/remains-of-rusted-giant-off-north-coast.html the copy says "Manchester Fort" but it is [was] in fact, "Manchester Port 4" / "Biokovo" / "Ydra" I hope this may be of interest to members. It's always sad to see the end, or the wreckage of a ship. As you'll know, the Japanese have a belief that a ship has a soul, and there is a shrine onboard all Japanese vessels. I saw several of these onboard NYK vessels at Southampton when working on ship tours with company clients. (My understanding was that that was their belief, forgive me if I got it wrong). Kindest regards, David
