The second of Mr Wagonborgs ships to arrive today.  This one came in from nearby Newport. Judging by her draught it looks like she too may have loaded steel/wire products. She is seen sailing on 17th, bound for Bremerhaven.

Fast Wil

Fast Wil arrived 'light' from Drogheda. She loaded steel/wire products and sailed on 17th for Belfast.  I missed her arrival and departure so a bit of a distant photo - must make a note to buy a longer lens! UPDATE- still haven't bought a longer lens, but Fast Wil returned on 4th January 2014 when I got this better photograph -
