That's no the "Ola" Bill. I think it is probably one of the Langlands ships

I've changed my mind on this one again Bill. I think she is the Pole Star(1), which used to lie at anchor at the Holms before the pier was built. I think we can rule out the Langland ships, as they had a black funnel with two white bands.

Just had a look at a photo of the Pole Star(1) in the Stromness museum and I am quite sure that she is the same ship as the one above.
