    Completed two trips on the Beaverlake March 1953 to July 1954. first trip as Engine Room Peggy later as a Wiper. Company was a first class feeder with good runs ashore . Later did a trip on the Beaverburne as Boilerman then joined the Union Castle-what a contrast!

    Happy Days

    Regards to all

    Who does not recall Danny's bar Graham. Used to call in after a night in the bars and clubs up around the center. Staggering back to the ship you could get a packet of frites with a dollop of Mayo on them plus a sausage , made supposedly with horse meat, to round of the night, from the stalls just around the corner. Was in Danny's one night and saw two of our crew chatting up one of its patrons who dressed to the nines with red thigh high stiletto heeled boots. I questioned them as to what they were doing as I knew they did not swing that way, they told me they were only after the boots. At turn to the next day I asked them if they had been successful in getting the boots off her/ him. They showed me the bruises they had received from trying to get the boots off her/ him when she battered the pair of them. There was another bar near Danny's that I never ventured into as it had a vicous looking alsatian guard dog in its window, god only knows what went on in there.
    All that area is all very upmarket these days so I guess all those bars are now coffee shops or wine bars.

    Oh yeah it was on Schipperstraat or just around the corner what a place that was, there was about 5 or 6 of us we'd had
    a skinful and Danny's bar was the last call before we headed back to the ship it was very late and we were on our last legs,
    anyway there was a big american white convertible parked outside, we went in to the bar and after a short time a deckie
    who was with us said this blonde was giving him the eye, one of the lads told him "it's not a woman" but he wouldn't have
    it and went over and started chatting, after a little while he comes back to us "all excited" and says the car outside is hers
    and she's asked him back to her place, once again he's told it's not a woman and they had a bet on it, so off he goes with
    the blonde, later we were in our mess having lunch when the deckie came in put his money on the table and walked out
    without saying a word, one embarrassed but honest deckhand .Cheers JFC
