Dear Bob, Just remembered something - try e-bay as there are sellers on there who sell ship photos. Also, I think you can make a 'wish list' and if one comes up for sale you will be notified. As luck had it, I found the Chepman photo. in one of my computer picture folders but don't know where I got it. When back from hols. will look to see if I can find the original (or where mine came from) as have storage boxes of all sorts to do with dad's Memoirs just no time to look. Cheers. H
Dear Bob, Just remembered this bit of info. giving all it's different names over the years I once prepared too. Hope this helps. Cheers. H

Hello Bob
I was sparks on Mystic in 1961 whilst she was on charter to Shaw Saville from Furness Withy.
I have tried to upload a photo but couldn't manage it. If you want I can send you the photo as an email attachment.
Cheers
