Anco Templar

[Allan James Chambers]

Hi,I only sailed once on Anco Templar.

I was a assistant steward.

I joined in Curcacao on the 19th March 1974 and left on the 9th August 1974 in Rio De Janeirio.

My MNEA No was 143477/01.

The Captain , i believe was Mr K Richmond.

I would like to know if any person out there was also on this trip at any time within these date`s.

Yours Hopefully.

Allan James Chambers.

Thank You.

Hi Allan

was that just after the Engine Room fire or before it ?. I flew out to Curacao via Madrid and Caraccas just after the fire, Keith Richmond was skipper.We were alongside with a hole cut in her to remove and replace the burnt out genny set .

Remember rescuing the M.V. Maria which had caught on fire in the Red Sea in May 1981. Huge fire on-board her. We (Anco Templar) went to her rescue....Got some great photos !! We rescued the Crew of the M.V. Maria and then a helicopter from Yebbo, came out and airlifted them off the Anco Templar - Also, on another trip, Remember catching a few stowaways out of Mombassa as we headed for Dar-es-Salaam. They were in the funnel hiding at the time !!!

Anco Templar was a hard working vessel, but great to be on-board with such great crew members....ah, Happy memories..........
