Hi Duke, were you on deck on the Salvada I was one of the unfortunate ones that landed in jail after that fight, I was inside for 8 months managed to get back to sea October 1968 with the new Zealand shipping company, hope fully I will hear back from you Ta.

Re: Sal boats
It seems odd that it was the Clan Mcgillivray , I was sure they were Bangladeshis and normally very docile

Re: Sal boats
Hi Dennis,
I was surprised to read your post, I haven't been on the site for a few years. Reading your post, I remember your name and the incident very well. Pity you missed the trip on the Salvada, she was a really good ship. I was on deck on her, O.S. I was recently thinking about her and the short voyage we did before going to Immingham. I remember we joined her in Antwerp, went to Hamburg and through the Kiel Canal, to where I can't remember, maybe Bremen. Can you recall that part of the trip?
Duke.
Anyway, hope you are doing OK these days.
