Great pics of the ship. Like skua, I did a schools cruise on her in c1965, with similar experience re. puke and scoff, although we went north from Liverpool, around Cape Wrath to Bergen, sailed past a scheduled stop at Kristiansand ( regatta cancelled due gale) to Oslo, then to Copenhagen (Nyhavn an eye opener for a 14 yr old). Finally through the Kiel Canal to Amsterdam, then back to Liverpool. Two things I do still recall, the bunks were identical to Warmtoasts pic, and the male and female teachers were more interested in "socialising" with each other than taking the classes in the school area...
