Appealing for any information on returning to sea
I have been living in California for years, but I would enjoy returning to the British Merchant Navy. It seems likely that it would be far easier to get a Stateroom Steward job if requesting it through channels in England. I have a long list of Passenger Liners I have worked on, in my early years. I still hold my "Board of Trade" identification Seaman Discharge Book, plus my British Seaman's ID Card and a British Passport, American Passport, and a European Community Passport.
I have a great deal of experience and already had my virus shots.
A little older obviously, divorced but just to be on the rolling waves, would be the greatest gift I can think of for me.
My last doctor visit showed me in excellent health, after my exercise routines, and foreign herbal, holistic medicine.
Can you offer any assistance in this matter?
Yours Respectfully,
Dave Francis/Cullen

Haven't you already posted this request earlier under another title, to which some people responded and gave you some avenues to follow, as well as some avenues that had no bearing on your request.

Will one of the Shipmasters aboard here with any influence with the Maritime Agency please secure a berth for Mr Francis. I'm sure he'll be forever grateful and we can all wish him bon voyage.
