I have posted directions at the top to show you how to post photos. Hope you'll join us!

Re: headline belfast 1959 til 1967
I was wondering if any of you sailed with Rowan "Dorcus" Dickson. He went from Apprentice to 2nd 1966-1973 and sailed on nearly all the Head Line ships. He lives in Belfast and is struggling with health issues right now, so he'd love to hear from anyone who sailed with him. He's at rowandickson "at" hotmail.com
