A FLOTILLA OF CRAFTY WOMEN

  Shipping  Reporter  discovers  Ladies   Day   in  the  Townsville Ghost Fleet  

There was  a  distinct  feminine touch  to the  port  in  the names   of  vessels unloading cargo , some of which  he  was  able  to  photograph  . Because of a problem with his  camera , he was unable to  get up close to the literary sounding  Bronte Lady . Another , larger  vessel  that  stood out ,  which also could not be snapped, was   the Japanese   vehicle  carrier  ,  Venus  Leader.

However  , Rosemary , above  ,  posed for the camera  , as  did   Carolyn,  from Singapore, who late in the  day  disgorged  a  large  front end  loader  which  had been  shifting    bulk  cargo  below  .
