Seaman Guard Ohio
The American owned Seaman Guard Ohio, which was arrested months ago by India, still has 3 men ether on bail, or locked up, because they had weapons on board in Indian waters. someof them are British ex forces , and they are employed by a US firm. I find it hard to understand that neither theAmericans nor the British, seem to be insisting that they be released, as they were protecting shipping in pirate infested waters, and presumably any Indian shipping as well!........Oops that should be 35 men not 3

Re: Seaman Guard Ohio
#Ron, I posted these clips in March hoping a few would sign. Think it was JimB who added his own post from the Liverpool Echo with the same story regarding a Liverpool man. Have not heard any news since
........Believe out of the 35 six are British.
