    Default Happy.

    One of the happiest periods of my short seagoing career was a 2 trip ( consecative ) on board The Rubens back in 66/67, I dont think I have ever enjoyed myself so much, and not for the usual on shore activities Brazil is famous for,( mind you Im afraid I did succumb to those pleasures, as did 99.9% of the visitors to this wonderful country there was plenty of Football as well.) But for the camaraderie of all on board, it was practically the same crowd shipping out for the 2nd voyage, only about 4-6 failed to make it for the next trip. And a great time was had by all.

    Smile Lamport&Holt

    Hi Tracey

    Have finally begun to find my way around this hi-tech site. (The old grey cells needed a MOT but I think we're on course now...) I was with L&H on Roscoe and Devis down to S/America in 1957 and did a translantic trip on Lassell in horrendous weather conditions to load coal in Newport News for Dublin (nearly lost my heart in that great city) and paid off in Blyth. Loved S/America....F A T A S T I C...what wonderful days they were.
    best wishes

    Default L&H

    As you say Tony, great company and fantastic runs, served my time with the company, first ship was LASSELL in Jan 1958, first stop,Recife, what an eye opener for a 16 yr oldDid two trips on the DEVIS the same year, left the company in 1963, many happy times. Cheers, Glyn.
