Re: Port Auckland 1950
So now you have two threads going on about the Port Auckland,Robert! Yes,it is so easy to get bogged down in details especially when you are not a seafarer yourself,so you are doing fine.
The 'Auckland' was completed in April 49 at Hawthorn Leslie,Hebburn,then perhaps it would be another few weeks after that for trials( engine performance,measured mile,etc,)before fitting out,so then her maiden voyage would commence.Your Dad probably signed on her second voyage if it was November 49 ?
