Old ship under new name

A familiar old ship but with a new name has returned to Lyttelton, one of ’ her old ports of call. J She is the old Shaw Savill > vessel Cretic, now renamed i the Drina, which arrived at . Lyttelton, on November 12. *1 The Drina is one of the; ;,few remaining C class vesJsels which Shaw Savill hadi especially built for the Newi jiZealan rf-United Kingdom: ■ i trade during the early' 19505. j ■ She was recently transferredi ? to an associate company, the j Royal Mail Line, to ply the - South American-United “ Kingdom trade under her r new name. t According to her master! • (Captain M. Larrive), thej i Drina has not long to go be- : fore being consigned to the • ship breakers. With 38 years ! at sea behind him, the last : 10 with Shaw Savill, Captain j Larrive said he also ex- : pected to retire within the : next six years — though he ; gave the Drina only another , two years at the most. : The Drina is one of the • many conventional ships 1 which will be phased out i with the introduction of containers, though Captain Lar- ! rive said he felt confident ■ that there would always be a need for some con- ! ventional ships.
