My sister genuinely sent the following to the family whatsapp "I got my jeans on!!! 🥳🥳🥳" After some very considered but stern words from Mrs Fish I did not reply. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46185 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 It was scrapped in Taiwan in 1982. 13 years after launch. Is that normal for a ship? Seems like a very short life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4411 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I think those really big ones were thought of before the oil crisis in the early 70s and became uneconomic to run so that might be why. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also had a design fault where the hull was susceptible to cracking and it wasn’t economically viable to repair it. Same with the sister ship built there too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35663 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 As an aside do any people remember the Millennium Bridge being brought down the Tyne to be put in place? The floating crane was fucking huge. Higher than the Tyne Bridge iirc. Look at the height of it compared to the Baltic, man 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 43223 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I’m on day 2 of a week’s company training to get on to the Class 1 ( articulated) wagons. Still getting to grips with the Dark Arts of reversing the trailer, waiting to back out of a yard in Washy then 90° on to a road. Hopefully going on to 4-on-4-off next week, run down to Kent then back twice over the 4 days. Hookers beware! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
