Sir, – As a young impressionable radio officer employed by Marconi Marine I had, on occasion, to visit their office on the Dublin quays. On one such visit, the MV Miranda, a Guinness boat, was docked close by. I asked the lads in the office where she traded. They told me she transported Guinness in bulk to Liverpool and that there were two such boats. One transported the stout and the other the head! – Yours, etc,
