Does anyone know the exact date for when the second St Ola finished her service with the route between Scrabster and Orkney. Looking for the day, month and year please.

I have the date for the first one, but not the others so if you happen to know them also that would be a big help!

:D

Thank you for that info Tugmistress, I knew it was around 74/75 for when the second St Ola, but that other info was certainly a help.

I can remember watching the St Ola II leaving Stromness as the Ola III arrived,as they passed each other the new Ola looked so big.Cant remember the date though.I'm sure my dad will remember,he worked for the North of Scotland Shipping Company and P&O most of his working life.
A couple of interesting Ola Links.
