Re: Lets See some comments About CLAN LINE
Hi, I was working by the mailships in Southampton, 1971, when my appointment to the Clan MacTavish came through, this was much to the amusement of the other lads with whom I was working , they knew that the heavy lift ships were regularly employed on double header voyages and that I could expect at least a 9 month stint. Of course, their predictions almost came true until 7 months later we found our way up the river to Whampoa, supposedly for scrap. Having checked the ship over, the new Chinese owners announced that she would be used for further trading. It was not until the flight home that the mate confided in us that in fear of a forecasted typhoon, during the final stages of our voyage, he had pressed up all of the vacant fuel oil tanks with sea water for additional ballast.

Yes Vernon, that sounds a bit like Witchery Grubs and other Abbo wonderful feeds.
