Welcome aboard Mike, I was the Third Mate on the Sheridan from July 67 to September 67 when we brought her to Le Havre and she became the Cyril for Booths. We ( the Deck Officers ) Tim Abbott 2nd Mate and Glyn Houston Mate including the Old Man Captain Wilson had to pay off and return to Liverpool for another ship. We got the Rossini ex Bernard back over from Booths. I seem to remember all the Engineers stayed on Cyril, was that you and sorry but I cant remember much - wasn't there a 3rd Engineer call Scoby or something like that and one called Durango. I have a photograph of the Sheridan I got off Foto Flite with all the signatures on the back, its in the loft somewhere. We had a Radio Officer named Charlie Caughy he was Maltese. Dicky Lorraine was 2nd Mate of the Rubens when I was a Cadet on her, she was later to become the Bernard and then the Rossini when I ended up 3rd Mate of her.
