Re: M.v.Ruysdail
Sailed on this ship think it was about 67/68.Captain Porter was a good skipper, chartered to Clan line.Middle East and India and Ceylon,had a few experiences on that trip.We played a Russian ship at football in Calcutta,they beat us easy.Then took us back to their ship for a meal and a drink.Thought we would get a load of propaganda, but it was complete opposite.Good food plenty of drink,and air condition which the Ruysdael never had.They had better conditions than we had
