John A, no I do not sadly recall any of the crew on her. The Capt. was a hell of a guy he had a Gull Wing Mercedes & lived on the Isle of White, wonder if he kept it would be worth a Kings ransom now? We had so may hilarious incidents one I think I may have mentioned before, we were in thick fog maybe 1/2 night out of St L en route home when I was sent forward as lookout 12 to 4 you could not see 50' ahead we were maybe doing 5knts? I was supposed to call out about 'growlers' those little pricks the sperm of a iceberg that are not picked up by radar, anyway suddenly there was one I called out over the ph to the bridge then we hit her a glancing blow on the stb side just below the f'castle of course much grinding etc. The 2nd & Capt. came up then Capt. wished to look over the side to see what damage however she had a beautiful steep flare so not too easy. We had to hang on to him by his lower legs-boots. I will always recall his saying to me "young man for Christ sake hang on!" Later the 2nd said to me he had worked out how long it would have taken us to die in the sea based on the temperature, some 15-20 minutes! Needless to say I was horrified. Yes great little ships, terrific trips, wonderful scenery all never to be forgotten. Richard
