Cover Picture - A fine aerial view of the Manchester Liners general cargo ship Manchester Progress on her maiden transatlantic voyage. Completed by Smiths' Dock Co of Middlesbrough in February 1967, Manchester Progress represents the latest generation of purpose-built cargo ships and is designed specially for scheduled voyages from Manchester to the St Lawrence Seaway and through the Great Lakes to Chicago. Modern cargo handling gear on board includes one 30 ton and two 10 ton cranes. There is also a fully automated engine room with closed-circuit TV control from the bridge. In addition to cargo holds, the ship has tanks for 1,200 tons of bulk oils or liquids. Manchester Progress is a 12,000 DWT vessel, 520 feet long with a beam of 63 feet and a service speed of 17 knots.
