John Prescott
I always though t two shags was employed by Cunard.
A letter in todays Daily Mail, states that he sailed on the ROTHERWICK CASTLE, is this true?

Re: John Prescott
It was a letter to the Mail. Someone said that he sailed with Prescott on the ship in question.
I thought he always sailed with Cunard.

Re: John Prescott
He did sail with Cunard Vic. When I was with Cunard sailed with a few old arses who remembered him. From all accounts a bit of a bully and US at his job.

Re: John Prescott
According to many people JP has been on so many ships been filled in a few times and various other stories if you wish to believe them.A guy on Ships Nost. said his dad was a ships captain and he sacked JP I asked him what ship he didn't know,what company,his answer was GSNC,I don't think JP ever sailed on any of them.

Re: John Prescott
Well we know that 'Rangitata' 'Amazon' 'Andes' and 'Transvaal Castle' were not Cunard, we could always write and ask him!
