    Manaus in the Amazon. There was one shipping company running there on a regular basis, Booth Line out of Liverpool, known to seamen as Maggie Booths.

    Spent ages up & down there in very early sixties. Fantastic times. All changed now. Plenty of stories but most not printable. Booths were a very fine company.
