[Engine Serang]

They had a crane pulling it up and a couple of jacks pushing. Is this a feasable story or have I got it all wrong? We left the next day so I have no idea of the outcome. Could the ship get home with one cylinder completely out of action?

Is your story feasible?
With Bank Line anything is feasible.
