    Thought I'd start one off along the same lines as the one over on the Aviation & Aircraft forum. :)

    They share some great photos over there and I figured the same could happen here.

    As luck would have it I don't have many of mine stored on this PC but I'll get the ball rolling with this one -

    Tankers in Galway Bay, Dec 08

    Here is a photo of the ship Arklow raider which ran aground after leaving the mouth of the Boyne coming from Drogheda port.

    I think this is in November 2010?

    Heard about this in a news article, it was a really interesting story, modern day treasure hunters fascinate me.

    your spot on,thats a sister ship of the one i was on.There was four of that class built a few years ago.I've sailed on two of them,Cardigan bay & Lyme bay,was talking to a few old ship mates that were on it when it was handed over.Alot of people get the rfa confused with the RN but its a different arm.the RFA is classed as merchant navy but i suppose it does alot of the stuff the RN does although there's no love lost between the two,i've some good pics i'll post later of shipwreck's,victims of the Iran Iraq war.

    Its not the smoke detector. It the air-con unit that had a nasty habit of spitting out pieces of fluff into you cabin so it was covered up on the orders of the C/E.

    Apologies, I saw the smokes on the desk and jumped to the obvious conclusion
