G'day Fred.
I joined the Port Victor on 31st March 1951 as galley boy, direct from the Vindicatrix. Missed you by that much ! I then did a home trade run and 3 o/s trips on it. Then 1 trip on the port Alma, and 1 trip on the Port Auckland
Tom Porter was the chief cook on the Victor for the home trade, and Don Burgess was chief cook for the 3 trips to Aussie and NZ.
Small world. regards John
