Moored at the Ocean Terminal

The iconic MV DOULAS veteran passenger/cargo vessel has been grounded in Indonesia for use as a hotel according the SCMP magazine. It was a fairly regular sight moored at the Ocean Terminal when it was open to book fair visitors. The MV DOULAS. was advertised as the oldest ship of its type still operating at sea. It originally had steam powered triple-expansion engines.. On a visit I was given a drawing of the original engines
