Currie Line Ships

The local well know Leith Shipping Line only ordered three ships from the Leith Shipyards of Henry Robb, this was the MV GOTHLAND built in 1932, MV EDINA built in 1939 just one month after the start of the Second World War, and the last ship built for the line was the MV ZEALAND built in 1954.

Currie-Line-Flag

 

Not many orders from the local company then, although James Currie did lease the first bit of land for the Henry Robb Shipbuilders to start building ships on in 1924.

 

Currie-Line-Zealand

 

The MV ZEALAND was a smart looking small passenger cargo ship.
