Hi you guys
I have not been a member long and just hope i get this posting right!
I was in the Westminster from August 1968 until May 1969, first as 3/O and then 2/O for the second half.
When I first joined she was in Watts Watts colours ie a W on the chimney and WW houseflag. During the forthcoming voyage the colours were changed to Bibbys.
I remember she was a happy ship although she was plagued by engine problems. She broke down off the Canaries and had to be "rescued" by a salvage tug and was towed to Las Palmas for repairs. The B & W engine was a real problem.
I have a couple of my photos of her which I could upload if I knew how!! Any advice greatly appreciated.
I was with Bibbys from August 68 until December 71 and apart from the Westmonster Iwas in the Yorkshire,Lancashire, Gloucestershire and Pacific Bridge twice. Apart from Bibbys I sailed with Ben Line and Comben Longstaff.
