    Hi Matt.
    I add my admiration for your Dad's service, a great achievement, one which I might have had except for poor schooling that is why I admire anyone who went up through the hawspipe.
    I have a pic of one of your Dad,s ships the Nuddea which you may not have, there was someone on site a little while ago asking about this particular ship.
    Cheers Des

    #1... A fine example of a proper seaman Matt. With obvious a proper attitude to the job and not frightened to take any job on. Probably similar To my own sentiments and had no hesitation on taking a job as mate after being master. Many when they reached the so called dizzy heights of such, thought it was demeaning to drop back a rank. this shows the attitude of such people, when on occasion have had the choice of mate or master I have chosen the mates job rather than the masters, as got more job satisfaction and knew was better at in that particular trade, and let some old guy who had struggled for years to get there sit back and enjoy what he could of his lifetime labour’s. I even tried to get an ABs job once , but the union knocked it back.will have a look through ships names and see if any bring back memories, Cheers JS

    Doesn’t really matter which way you got there Cappy at the end of the day the questions and answers are always the same. To me and the type of apprenticeship I served was really to learn a seaman’s duties, and was known to us as cheap labour. No leave and little money and at everyone’s beck and call. The smoother way would of been off the deck more money and leave. There was no real advantage to an apprenticeship in tramp ships, apart from giving you the initiative to get out of it and be one of those doing all the ordering around. Depends on your point of view. I wanted to join the RN at 15,but the old man wouldn’t let me, looking back I could have done my 22 years for a pension, come out and carried on exactly the same as I did. Much wiser and also richer more than likely. We are all wiser after the event. The present way of certification should be no hindrance to anyone of average intelligence. If anyone thinks otherwise just check my educational past. Cheers JWS
