Sharpness not sheerness.

But for some it may well have been a sheer mess.

Des, looks just how I remember the Vindi, a total mess.

Yesterday I got a sad letter from the Secretary of the N.S.W Vindi Association informing me that the Association will on the 6th of June be holding it's last meeting after 30 years. Unfortuatley I am to far away to attend, but it will be a sad day. It has been agreed that all the money left over will be donated to the Stella Maris. It will also maybe the end of the UK Vindi Association. Sad really.

Hi,
I cant remember the name of the officer but I think it we called him Squeezy because on the second time around waking us and we were still in our bunks he would squeeze water at us from a filled up with water an old fairy liquid bottle.
I was at the vindi on deck in 1964

Could have been worse.
If the barber had been a 'squeeze' you would have not wanted him and he would not use a bottle, just his hands.

My brother Ralph went to Vindicatrix
around 1961. Myself I was at Gravesend 4 years earlier just after a lad called Tommy Hicks had just left and we all know him today as Tommy Steele.

The Vindicatrix first visited Sharpness old dock in1906,and discharged a cargo of salt .She was then known as the Arranmore under the command of Captain Montgomery.
