  Might the sailing vessel pictured be the TS Royalist?...

  Gosh a great bit of research there Tom, that looks to be the very chap. I will add that info to the frontpage now and put a link through to this thread.
  
  Well done Tom many thanks.

  Yes indeed, she is the TS Royalist. Took a few photos of her passing St.Margarets yesterday on her way to the Eastern Entrance.

  Yes cracking shots there Ed...white cliffs are always a great backdrop.
  Well done young man.
  
  
  
  She is still in the harbour if anyone is brave enough to go out in the prevailing conditions and have a look..its rough down here on the seafront and on the sea..just been watching one of Ed's DFDS ships struggling manfully for half an hour with the tug, not sure if she is trying to go out or get in. Awful.
