Hi, i'm a bit late with my reply, I flew out to Genoa to join the Capulet 08/12/1972 as Assistant Stewart, this was her first trip, and when she was empty, with the prop half out the water, she vibrated like hell. the ports I remember were Casablanca, Samkong in China, Albany in Western Australia, Vancouver, Alexandria and paid off River Tyne on 14/7/1973 This was not the best ship I'd been on but I have a Photo of the ship, an Ariel one taken I think coming in to Alexandria, Egypt was at war with Israel at the time and at night the Navy put anti submarine nets across the entrance to the harbour and during the night set off depth charges in case frogmen had attached limpet mines to Ships, used to give you a right headache from the pressure shock
