With a more or less vertical bow?

Not a "Haikutter" ?

They were not cutters, the name was given to them as an insulting nickname (by traditional fishermen, who despised the fast new ships catching all "their" fish and be first in the harbour again for selling)

Zoroaster?

Bravo Jim, very impressive.

The Zoroaster was the first tanker ever built. Laid on keel in Sweden in the 1870s, transferred to the Caspian and used for transporting crude oil from Baku to Astrachan (Volga). Owned by Brothers Nobel initially it had around 30 cylindrical tanks built into her belly to store the oil. Those were removed later and the oil would then be floating free within the hull with the steam engine separated from the load by water filled compartments. It was sunk to serve as a part of the foundations of Neft Daslari, the town on stilts in the Caspian Sea.

Over to You

Okay...what is this? and by way of an early clue the answer is personal to me.

Ferry?

If I remember correctly Jim was some kind of Marine engineer before he became police officer.

Wonder if it has something to do with the his careers as Marine engineer.

Not as far as I'm aware but she may have some time during her life.

Most perceptive Markus.

Did you wear trousers with a jingle in your pocket on this ship?

I'm not sure I know what you mean.

Is it a WWII cargo ship used in the Murmansk convoys?

I believe an earlier vessel with the same name did but not this one.

Clue: Built in the seventies.

Never heard of this ship, and even built before the Lawson sailing tanker.
Well done
