The ship in the foreground is the Collindoc which at one time sailed on the Great Lakes in Canada. My father Alastair Sinclair (an Orcadian, now 80) and I used to fish from our rubber boat beside her. We would climb up to the bridge to see if the Fulmars were nesting there. Somebody tell me why people go to Mallorca?

Erik, I do not know if you have seen this wreck in recent years but the only part above the sand now is the wheelhouse (Bridge). Please pass my warmest regards to your father. Herbert Mackenzie.
