Manxman, the third is of the S.S. Defender and the last one is of the T.S. Vindicatrix. They will fade in & out. Picture below is of the M.V. Defoe. |
"And now that the turmoil is ended, Our enemies vanquished and fled, We'll pray that the living will foster The spirit of those who are dead. When the next generation takes over, This country we now hold in lease Will be theirs - may they cherish its freedom And walk down the pathways of peace." by Edward Carpenter |
