    #19... what’s your thinking on the discharge book Vernon. Why shouldn’t he have a Discharge book and be RNR. When a commissioned officer came out of the navy if having served in the seamanship branch ( navigation) he could apply for and receive a masters F.G. Certificate of Service ( not competency) this allowed him to sail as master on any British ship, and the only thing it didn’t cover for some unexplained reason was a H.T. Passenger vessel. Coming out of the navy he would probably do the regulation period in the reseres. To go to sea on a British merchant vessel a discharge book was a requirement . I have sailed with at least 3 in such situations , one of which was a chief engineer out of the engine room branch of the navy who received a 1st class cert. of service motor. He was the same as the other two RNR. Cheers JS

    #24...I won’t say probably among others that I agree with that situation. But once again it seems to coincide with the manning scales of today that the ship has to be crewed to take the ship from A to B only , when we all know that is the easy part of the job. IN fact with today’s modern aids probably find any school kid with a leaning for computers could do so. But believe you are going back a few years when a bit more practical knowledge was required. Cheers JS

    As I had said JS I stand corrected Cheers

    however I may be wrong on this and stand corrected.
    He could also well have been RNR for a while ??

    Thanks Vernon can always learn something new on here. Spent the new year of 1998 in Launceston with my cousin who lectured at the Nautical College there , borrowed my cousins car and drove down to Hobart. Must have passed through the place. Remember staying in Swansea as the pub there had the biggest billiard table in the Southern Hemisphere. Even know of a place in Victoria called North Shields . So Perth in Tasmania is a bit more knowledge. Hope it comes up in a pub quiz sometime like..... how many Perth’s can you name, now three off the cuff ... Scotland, W.A., Tasmania. Cheers JS
