    Default Hello

    Hello,
    I was an Apprentice with Ellerman & Papayanni from January 1963 to November 1964, having done 3 months at King Edward VII Nautical College in late 1962. I joined Almerian in January 1963, renamed City of Leeds for the Borneo run. Then sailed on Venetian, Egyptian renamed City of Leicester for the Borneo run again, then Sicilian. The decided I wanted to be a Radio Officer instead, so went to Norwood Technical College for 2 years, got my 2nd Class PMG Certicficate but never went back to sea as I got married! But that 2 years with Ellermans was so formative, it shaped my life and I remember it with great fondness.

    Hi Peter, I sailed on the Egyptian, Lancastrian, Andalusian, as you say many ports in the Med, I recently posted that video of the Ionian. My time was a bit before your time, but did they still offer curry for breakfast, as well as full English, always thought that strange, I love curry, but not for breakfast, kt
