Court Line - the company and its ships

Halcyon Isle

 

Halcyon Isle is included in the list of Court Line Ships based on references to it in the various External References, but currently it is not clear what connection Court Line had with her other than that the Halcyon prefix was used by Court Line for its tankers.

 

She had a working life of at least 21 years but appears to have ended her days rather ingloriously as a "storage hulk" or "slop barge".
