Look forward to seeing the photos. Wasn't it Ben Line that used to paint their deckhouses to look like wood?

I thought he was married to Bebe Daniels and used to act in American films with Marilyn Monroe?   {-) {-)

Just getting over the festivities and thought i would send a photo of the Bendearg , and yes Colin they did have the accommodation bulkheads done like wood effect by the Chinese painters they carried . Stopped this with the arrival of new ships and all bulkheads were white . Will try and find photos of the build if anyone is interested as builtmostly from scratch .
