MV Torr Head



I did two trips from Ireland across the Atlantic on this ship in 1969. We sailed through the St Laurence Seaway and the Welland Canal as far as Chicago with stops in Detroit, Cleveland, Toronto, Quebec and Montreal. She predated containerisation but had been fitted to carry some containers as well as general cargo. We seemed to carry mainly whisky and whiskey to North America and beans on the way home. I'm sure she's long gone.

I only mention this because I found this picture on the net.
