Sorry if I appear to be "picky" but the build details are :-

Ulster Monarch yard number 635 launched 24 01 1929 delivered 10 06 1929 @ 3851 gross tons
Ulster Queen yard number 696 launched 28 03 1929 delivered 11 02 1930 @3756 gross tons
Ulster Prince yard number 697 launched 25 04 1929 delivered 03 03 1930 @ 3756 gross tons.

As for all three being sisters, well I'll leave that up to others to debate that.

Just Win your puzzles are great just the thing to keep the old grey cells active, so many thanks for your efforts.
