Selby
A sister of the Harrogate the Selby was a frequent visitor to Holyhead. She was not a particular favourite of the port's masters as she was single screw. She would berth port side to at the coal crane to discharge and load containers - the easiest side with a right handed single propellor. Getting the bow to seaward for departure was accomplished by running a rope from the bow, outboard to a bollard astern of the ship. Then, after heaving the stern in as much as possible with a stern line, heaving on the bow rope to pull her around.
Arriving at the North Wall it was a different story, starboard side to and the 'fresh' in the River Liffey to contend with.
