Colour film slide showing starboard stern view of M.V. BALMORAL moored in the River Tawe at Swansea.

Built 1949 at Southampton for the Red Funnel Fleet. Joined P & A Campbell's White Funnel Fleet in 1969 but following the demise of that company, served as an unsuccessful floating restaurant at Dundee until she was restored and returned to service in 1986. She was originally powered by two Newbury Sirron diesel engines, but these were replaced by engines of Danish manufacture in 2003.
