One of a class of five built at the Sunderland yard of Bartram's
in
the 1960's and engined by George Clark's also of Sunderland. As a cadet I
spent the Summer Holidays with Stan Vik (later Personnel Department) at George
Clarks engine works when the Montreal Star was on the stocks and
the engine (RND Sulzer) for the America Star was being
completed and test-bedded at George Clark's.
