Funnel colours that have, alas, joined the long list of extinct shipping companies. Little did I know then that it was the last photo I would take with Irish Shipping. I paid off on our return to Ireland , went to study for my 2nd. Mates and thereafter sailed under foreign flags.

Irish Pine 1983.jpg (157586 bytes) 
Here is the Irish Pine 1983 but I can not remember where it is. Of note regarding the Pine, during the year prior to the real demise of ISL the Pine was sold, the rumour at the time was that she was sold just to keep the company afloat for a few more months. The proceeds of the sale were never adequately documented by the liquidator although the sale took place before he was appointed. How much of the sale proceeds
 went against company debt and how much went against corporate wages and packages was never determined.
