Port Curtis

[Colin Gadd]

From 1959 to 1960 I sailed on the Port Curtis, the voyage being 22 months long.Looking on the Net, there is no mention of this ship other than I have posted myself.I would like to know if any of the crew members of those years are still alive,that is ,apart from me.Come to that, has anyone even heard of the Port Curtis?

Hi Colin. I must admit that although I was with Port Line for 7 years I never came into contact with the "Curtis"
If you go to www.photoship.co.uk and go on the Old Ship Picture Thumbnails Page 14, there are 6 photo's of the Port Curtis. Fred.
