Trying to contact an old shipmate
I am trying to trace my old boss and very good friend Peter Barn(e)s. We both were on the Shell tanker SS PARTULA circa April/May1976 to Dec 1976. The crew got paid off at Curaco and then flown to Miami in the United States to get a connecting flight back to the UK.
Peter was the 2nd Steward and I was the Pantry Boy at the time. Shortly after being paid off I left the Merchant Navy for new pastures. I should be grateful if Peter could contact me or if anyone knows of his whereabouts please drop me a line.
Many thanks for your help,
Regards and happy Christmas to all........

Re: Trying to contact an old shipmate
Hi Jim
Thank you for the Question, however as normally we try and assist here, the Person you are looking for was still at Sea after 1972, thus n records would have been kept past then for some time .
So there will be no reference to his Service at Kew in London, the place we normally start most of our tracing!
Hope there may just be someone here who per chance would know of him.
Cheers
And a Merry Xmas to you too.
Cheers
