Buries Markes

[cappy]

I was on the La Chacra Aug 68 to Feb 69,good ship fecent company good feeders and reasonable overtime,The skipper was a very distinguished gentleman Captain Eyre - Walker
.

Was along side the la chacra i guess in 58 or 59 in oz it may have been an older vessel but was a smart looking craft ...but more likely when she was new .....cappy

What a name to call a ship . La is also masculine I believe . I can imagine how and what sort of nickname she had , or even a person who had problems pronouncing French words . JS
