    It was interesting to read about Holt’s BELLEROPHON and

reminded me that the ship played a part in the 1970s film “The

sailor who fell from Grace with the sea.”

   I think that BELLEROPHON was being sold and Holt’s

made some money hiring out the ship to the film people

at Dartmouth on the south coast of England.
