    Due to illness I have had to put my larger projects on hold (to much for me to move around at the moment because of the size) so I am working on returning this HSL to how she looked (in real life) when she first came into service. I got her in the grey, she needed a bit of TLC electrically and mechanically and of course repainting but almost there.

    RonB the yellow really hi-lites your many radio antennas. Thankyou for the trip down Memory Lane!! At one time I was a federal Radio Inspector of ships on our Great Lakes. While the 162MHz MARINE band was adequate for anywhere on our Canadian GREAT LAKES (shared with USA) we often inspected "salties" that had the full span of VLF, LF, MF, & HF antennas. These were mandated by SOLAS (SAFETY OF LIFE AT SEA) regulations that came out of the enquiry into the Titanic disaster.
