Fred. Olsen Lines BLACK WATCH made her maiden call at Liverpool on August 07, 2009 on a "Round the British Isles" cruise. She arrived just before 09:00 after a sedate overnight crossing from Dublin - departing there around 23:30. She was assisted in berthing by the tug THORNGARTH whilst AYTON CROSS was in attendance just as she left the stage.
