    Add to #2... if memory is right the third engineer on the Cherrywood was a George Howling who I also sailed with on the Rosewood also. He lives in Heysham and hope to see him in the short term future. JWS

    Hi J,
    Laurelwood was my first ship, did 13.5mths starting in drydock, Sunderland and finished in Singapore. Spent most of time running round NZ, Aussie and Pacific Islands.
    Think I was on Laurelwood's 1st visit to NZ, Lyttleton, Wellington, Whangerai, Auckland. Great memories.
    Maybe we were on Laurelwood at same time?
    Have to dig out Discharge Book to check dates, but around 1970

    My brief year in tankers was more or less enforced on me as. Was always a dry cargo man. Flew out to Bangla Mashore think it’s Iran to join the Hollywood. I was 1st mate on a 4 mate ship . The chief officer was on daywork and had a better life than the old man. Loaded Naptha for Japan. The ch. officer and the pump man paid off in Japan and I was still 1 mate but on a 3 mate ship. So was an extreme fast learning curve for me. Another trip. With Naptha to. Japan and back again to Bangor mashore. Was taken off and being flown down to Newcastle NSW to join the Laurelwood. Spent a week in Teheran trying to get out of the country as was the time of the upsets with the Shah of Persia. The Laurelwood was the same set up as the original Hollywood with 4 mates. I did my time there and came off before they did the same and went down to 3 mates. Was only allowed 3 months on the coast running petrol for all the garages from the terminal in Whangerai down to nearly all the ports as far as Bluff. Was sent on an inert gas course when got home which Capt. Black the supt. Should have done. Wanted me to write put a report for him on the course so just gave him all the advertising literature about it as they had out. Black was the son of the shipowners Alan Blacks of Sunderland don’t know if you ever met him. JI J folded about 1974 but were a good Company to me at least. The best British one I was ever with. Cheers JWS.

    Hi
    I spent some time in the Persian Gulf on BTC tankers in the early fifties(A long time ago)
    The main oil port was (from memory) Abadan. There was also Banda Abbass, and I think the correct spelling for the one you mention is Bandar Mashore
    One other I remember was Mina al Amardi also in what was then Persia. My last tanker was the British Cavalier.
