Iwas AB on the SS Orsova in the 1960,s and sailed out with a motley crew including one Billy Bremner and his beret.
Read here some time ago that one of his family remenicst about Billy missing the ship and having to rejoin elsewhere.
I too have stories about Billy and a couple of photos if the family would like to get in touch.
I was known as "Mucky bucky" on board. Shared a cabin with Bill and Colin and ?
Great times had by all.
