    I think I was on that trip we crossed the International Dateline on new years eve so celebrated new year twice :P
    We flew out to Singapore to join the ship and spent 10 days in the Holiday Inn while waiting for her return. I remember not making it to Anchorage and having to head south to Seattle, surely there couldn't have been 2 ships that happened to. I think it was 1974/75 though. Would be great if I could get hold of a crew list as there were some good friends on that trip.

The Yanks were getting close to their 'strategic withdrawal' by then.I think that must have been the end of the "Saigon Flyer" tag, as we then got sent off to get stuck in the ice trying to get to Anchorage in December/Jan. Gave that up and discharged in Seatle. Then down to Panama, where I got off at last. 8.5 months which was normal for Marconi at the time
    I was on her around that time, Singapore Danang, Nha Trang, Miri then Sinagapore.
    Paid off in drydock in Sasebo

    I sailed on Hemisinus in 73 for 6mths, January to July, did the usual up and down to Saigon and Danang, Nah Trang had my wife onboard and even spent one night ashore in Danang in the Shell Port Captains house. Remember going to a restaurant where the pat of butter cost more than the lobster dinner!

    Hello Michael,

    I know that a while has passed since your post, but I would just like to ask if you knew my dad John (also known as Ian) Macintosh. Sadly, he died on the SS Hemisinus in May 1972.

    Thanks,

    Colin Macintosh.
