[xCazziEx]

Hi ongoing from post i put up yesterday Ive worked out the years and would of been around 1960 - 1965 aged between 16 years old when jpined merchant navy til 21years old when left. I believe travelled all over the world i think docking from Liverpool ive heard mentioned and maybe even Manchester. As i say my dad is still thankfully with us and im hoping to find a portrait or photo of the cargo ship DARRA from the years mentioned. Thanks Carole ☺

I always thought 'Darra' to be one on ED's.

[Chris Allman]

I think the vessel could be the DARRO see HERE the dates fit.

Hi ,
I agree with Jim, I think because of the timing it was probably the ED ship that was on the Liverpool /West Africa run. I have a book that I cannot find right now that may have helped on the age of the ship and the timing.

See one of Brians ships of same name has some foreign call sign. Think between the year 60 and 65 all British ships would of had a 4 letter call sign beginning with G during that period of time. JS

ED's had one called the Daru, think she was actually built for Paddy Hendersons though?

[Geoff Bray]

I checked the book that I have, ED's did have one called the Daru, she was built in 1958, and was mostly on a run from Liverpool to West Africa. E D's had thirty three ships in 1964, seems like a long time ago. Time gone forever when Liverpool and Birkenhead docks were buzzing every day with ships in and out

Daru, Degema, Deido, Dixcove,
Dumurra, Dunkwa
9,500 dwt
Dalla, Donga, Dumbaia, I think the last 3 were ex Paddy Hendersons ships
