Ship name


Can anyone tell me the name of the Manchester Liners Ship?
They were all named Manchester *?
I just can't make it out on the DVD.

When the Manchester Shipper and Manchester Pioneer were chosen to star in Shelagh Delaney's novel "A Taste of Honey", it was not known that part of the plot involved a drunken seaman taking his girlfriend on board, and also involving a drunken first officer! When the premiere took place,the company had to take space in the programme to point out that Manchester Liners neither approved nor allowed such conduct.

Taken from the Manchester Liners old shipmates association website:
