    That is the Crew List Copied from Union Castle Staff register


    If he is R591942 MCCALLUM J R 05/09/1930 ARDROSSAN then there are some records which I believe are at Kew , If you have a date of Birth that may help ,

    One thought though , if you are trying to find out what happened , why he died , in the very limited experience that I have , I have seen the answer to those questions , be unexpectedly different to my interpretation of the facts at the time , you may never get the answers that you are looking for ,

    I served in the Clan Line on the Menzies, Finlay and Macillwraith. I am Australian engineer known as 'wee Aussie'. I returned home to Australia by taking a tug called 'Waitangie' from Lowestoft to N.Z. where I joined the Northern Steamship company and sailed on the 'Marenui'. I payed off to get married just before it sank with the loss of nine lives in 1968.
    I subsequently spent most of my career with Howard Smith's ships as an engineer and Superintendent. At the demise of HSI I joined P&O Polar to be C/E on Australia's icebreaker The Aurora Australis.
    Best regards to all who sailed with me in the past. John van Dam

    Could be this Mc Callum ??
    You would need to apply for his Seamans Pouch.
