New York harbour
I cannot remember what pier we used to berth at, when I was on the Andania 1962/63. And when I was on the Alaunia as AB/Lampy/Bosun 1968/69. My old memory isn't what it used to be.

Re: New York harbour
Possibly ?? Pier 86, once used by United States Lines
As the Andania built for the Cunard Line
Cheers
Not sure though!

Re: New York harbour
Only ever tied up at 92 or 93 on the Big Ships. There is a member on this site Eugene, Stuart Henderson, who was on most of Cunards cargo ships who would be able to answer your queery. Why not send him a private message. He lives in France.

Re: New York harbour
Hi Eugene.
New York was the one port I would like to have visited, I could have cut out a few like Kuwait or Abadan, went down to join the Queen Mary but didn't go the accommodation, should have suffered it for one trip.

Re: New York harbour
Eugene ,
get the video of the "Liverpool Cunard Yanks". I have just watched it again this afternoon for the dozenth time.
The Cunard ships tied up at the bottom of W52nd Street at Pier 91 and 92.
Very interesting video of the 50s and 60s They take four Liverpool ex Cunard lads back to New York Shows the old days in the 50s of Liverpool with all the bomb damage from the Blitz to the New York glitz. The Market Diner in 2007 and in the old days. It is now a Strip Joint. I was at Pier 91 in 2008 on QE2,
A lot of good memories in that Video of the ships and the men and of New York and Liverpool.
Cheers
Brian
