Re: Blue Star shipping 1961 to 1968
Well Malcom seems that we have something in common as my last trip was also on the Southland Star arriving in Oz Feb 1969 must be something to do with the SS. Also on the Newcastle Star earlier and interested in hearing if you felt the same as I did? The Newcastle was the easiest ship on deck and like signing on daddies yacht really but the Southland for me was horrific in the aspect that it was all formica and push buttons not even a proper wheel on the bugger. Hence why I now live in Australia. Loved sailing with BSL and Port Line earlier but the star ships where work horses for sure until the newer ones came along.
That's the way the mop flops.
My thanks to Brian for this site.
