Mine is a ship called the ALLANWELL, from the book "Seaspray and Whiskey"

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51T0654Y4YL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

The Allanwell is a tramp steamer and the book is the story of a radio officer who joins the ship to find the entire crew to be a bunch of incompetent drunks until they run out of booze and sober up.

It reminds me of a couple of ships that I have sailed on.

Although it is fiction the author was a radio officer at sea and many of the stories are based on his experiences.
