Just to be pedantic Hyundai heavy industries is long since separated from Hyundai automotive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I think it looks quite good - modern but definitely a steammie boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the fact that it's in Steam Packet colours and has 'STEAM-PACKET.COM written down the side of it does kind of give the impression of it being a 'steammie' tbf.

Gladys Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I get that Chef, but it does have an overall steammie look, I think. I may be looking superficially at the livery, but it looks OK to me. Not being a naval architect or particular authority on boats, I just thought I would put forward my view ahead of the expert crowd who will tell is all why it is so wrong.

Indeed, last sailings for the Steam Packet September 2010. Seemed to spend more time broken than not, but like the buses was miraculously rejuvenated when it left the Island and is still zooming around the Greek islands.
