Was anyone a Cunard Yank??

I got my Genuine Fake Rolex Oyster Watch in Tangier in 1955, about £5, I think a young Lady in South America borrowed it one night when I was sleeping.

Cunard Yanks, remember Skullards bar in Southampton where many of them would gather at night to drink. They stood out like the proverbial for some reason, most had flashy watches and would often sit with a pound note stuck under the watch band ready to pay for the next drink.

Hi. I love this site. You all sound just like my dad. Sadly he passed away in Saturday 4th March 2017. I'm loving all the stories and have heard many of them from my dad, his name is Lenny Jones and I know he sailed to all of those lovely places. The merchant navy was his life and I am desperately searching for an article in the Daily Graphic from 1948. I think around November. When dad was in the paper as the youngest ever whaler on the factory ship the Baelena can anyone enlighten me. I would be eternally grateful. Xxxxx

There are quite a few Liverpool fellas on here maybe one will know your Dad.
Thanks for calling,
Cheers
Brian.

Thanks Brian. Dad loved the sea and I'm still desperately trying to find the article in the daily graphic from 1948. Hopefully someone will know of it. Xxx
