    As long as it’s not the thoughts of maos si Tung . Was presented with his little red book about 1972 in Shanghai. He was dead and his wife in prison. In English of course. Has not been seen for a number of years now so must have given to someone. JS

    And I thought all the customers were anonymous even those that used to scratch their name on the leg although you couldn't find enough room to scratch due to the amount of jws there

    Evening Mr Quartermaine/ Richard

    I will have a look at the Australian shipping/ passenger records at the NSW State Library for you; I will be there next week. As an aside my grandfather sailed from Sydney to England on the SS Beltana after enlisting in 1915. As an aside I grew up in Lautoka, my father (John Temperley) was a shipping officer with CSR/ SPSM from 1955 - 1974 at the Lautoka mill wharf. I also remember fondly trips on the Sea Spray (Fitheach Ban) when I was home from school.

    A question, when, where (shipyard) was the Fitheach Ban built please? Yours sincerely John

  14. Thanks Richard Quartermaine thanked for this post
