Hello Neil.
I did one trip on Port Aukland, 28 September 1966 to 14 February 1967, as electrical greaser. I signed on as a greaser and was set to work with the 2nd electrician. I knew nothing about electrics and still don't. I remember the chief electrician gave me an extra 2 hours overtime a week to wash his overalls in a 40 gallon drum of water with a steam pipe in it. I was told to use soda. He had the whitest overalls imaginable. He was not too pleased after about a month when they fell pieces. I used soda by the shovel full each time they were washed. Happy days.

Frank.

Hello Frank. That was before my time. What a beautiful ship though.
