Man overboard 1960-62, Esso York?
One of Esso's 26's (Oxford, Cambridge, Durham,York etc) lost a man o'board sometime in 1960-62. Think it was the York and think the master may have been Joe Borrowdale. I'm looking for an account of the successful rescue for a book I'm writing.
Tony Lane (3rd mate of E Oxford in 1960-61, E Liverpool 1961-62; 2nd mate E Cambridge 1962-63)
