Ah! The engine room all 'spick and span'. I remember it well. I was in the engine room of SS Uganda (pre Falklands) another engine room that was immaculate.

Excuse my ignorance but given the size of those royal ‘boats’ at what point does a boat become a ship. Not to mention nomenclature of ‘vessel’.

I’ve always thought a ship was a large sea going boat. Unless it is a submarine, they are always boats.
