My husband was on the following ships when he would have been 16 - 21 years old.
MV Hauraki sept to October 1962
MS Ruahine Oct 1962 to may 1963
MS Turakina may 1963 to April 1964
MV Gloucester may 1964 to January 1966
MV Hauraki July to August 1966
TSS Hororata August to sept 1966
MV Nottingham sept to December 1966
SS Devon April to may 1967

I do not know what other ships he was on until he came ashore in 1979 but would appreciate any stories even naughty ones from anyone who may have known him. He stole a car in Australia and ended up in jail with his friend Roger aka doughnut.
