Taranaki

[Mike Hall]

An interesting trip this was,it was ports on the continent.
14/05/1960 to 01/06/1960,london,antwerp,rotterdam,bremen,hamburg,londo n.
no sooner had we arrived in antwerp,i came out in a rash of little red spots.
i was banished to a cabin on my own,i was not allowed to work,and
the whole ship was put in quaranteen.no one was allowed ashore
until they found out what i had.
we then went to rotterdam we i was sent ashore to see a doctor,and
given some pills and some cream.even now i do not know what caused it
the crew were happy when we got to bremen and hamburg because
they were allowed ashore

Mike mate, had you been 'shopping' in the road of street windows?
