    It seems that Steamships are out of fashion, but you have given this company a fine farewell.

    There is something magical steamships, but i guess 'progress' has passed them by. I like your photo.

    A small beginning to a large sea going fleet and gobbled up by bigger companies. Interesting bit of history there!
