    Smile old salt

    G:day TonyB I am a new member browsing to see if i know anyone and came across
    your fleet list very impressive indeed but its obvious that you did not do any 12 month trips -i started my sea career early 1945 and joined BP as a company man in 1950-as a c/cook then c.std for 10 yrs until 1966 then came to oz where i sailed on oz shiops until i retired with a total of 48 yrs sea service-i am 81 yrs young and still going good

    G'day John B, great list there, maybe if you care to add some dates you may well get some calls from those who sailed with you. So while you wait sit back witha cold one and enjoy the voyage.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Cool British Pioneer

    Hi There.
    I see that you sailed on the "Pioneer".I did
    just one trip on her,way back in 1952,so I dont
    suppose its the same one?

    i joined the British Captain before she was completed at Birkenhead about 4 months before trials
    this would be about end of 1965 and was my last British ship as i pulled the plug and emigrated to OZ to get a
    way from the sea-but as fate would haveit the calling was to strong and joined Aust. ships for a further 26 yrs which i thoroughly enjoyed

    Hi Tony,

    I sailed with you on the Security. I joined her in Teesport as 2nd cook, think you paid off after about another 2 months. Bosun was Tug Wilson. It turned out to be my last trip with BP went North Sea after she was sold to the Italians.

    Regards
