A Tom Kent picture, date estimated.
Correct me if I am wrong, but does this ship not still regularly visit here (as the Christian Radich)?
Now the dating of this is contentious, as an article on The Orcadian website from March this year states:
"The Royal Norwegian Naval training ship, Christian Radich arrived in Orkney on Friday for a weekend visit.
The ship was last in Orkney in April 1987 when she called as part of the celebrations of her maiden voyage in 1937, that visit Kirkwall coincided with the Octocentenary celebrations of St Magnus Cathedral."
But as Tom Kent died on 11th August 1936...
Unless it is a different (but identical) ship.
