Shipping TV’s Chris Gosling takes a tour aboard the 1945-built steam-driven Victualling Inshore Craft, VIC96, has a chat with her skipper and engineer, and a quick change from ahead to astern.
VIC 96 is one of the few surviving workhorses of its day, built as part of the war effort to supply naval dockyards and the Royal Navy fleet.
For more on this ship, check out the VIC 96 Trust website. Be sure to check out more from Shipping TV on Youtube and Facebook.
