I thought there was an echo in the empty wheelhouse at first.
I'm looking forward to New York. I've never been there by sea, but my Dad did many years ago. Caused quite a lot of excitement involving dragging the anchor, a tug with bent safety rails around her upper deck, a damaged boarding ladder, a collision with a moored US Naval vessel, the Harbour Authority, the British Consulate, and letters between the injured parties and the Eagle Oil Company offices in London. Dad's ship was waiting to berth in Perth Amboy, apparently, across the river.
I hope they have forgotten about it!
