Saturday Open Event on the Pharos.
The ship looked great in the sunlight, silhouetted by a Blue Orkney Skyline
The Orkney News boarded and were welcomed by the crew, they were polite, courteous and informative. We were directed to the upper decks to see a very impressive ship.
One of the favourites was the Helipad, for the children(grown up also included) which was brilliant. 
Kids loved this(old & new) in fact here’s more pics 
Moving on upwards, we reached several decks with various views

Also onboard was the bell from the:
S. M. S. VON DER TANK. a Battle Cruiser.
