'73 British Navy Transport Vessel

I was fortunate enough to go along to pick-up friends that were anchored just down river from the house that were visiting the big house. This vessel was purchased from the British Navy(I think this is correct) as a personnel vessel and then was motored across the Atlantic and is now slowly being restored to a wonderful yacht. She has beautiful lines and sits so proud in the water. I think the dry weight was quoted at 125,000 tons/ 250,000 lbs, that's a lot of weight to float.




Engine room with all of the valves and a HUGE 4 cylinder diesel engine and two large generators, it was very perplexing and the owner understood most all of it.

Mates quarters, a couple bunks and a sink, I guess I missed the all important shower and toilet.
Captains quarters, with a bunk and a desk and some closet space.
Front Deck.
