Re: Orecrest
I had a couple of spells in the Orecrest, joining her originally on 11th Feb 1960 at Port Talbot as a Cabin Boy, I left in August 1961 and re-joined her in Feb 1962 as Assistant Steward. I then left in June 1962 to take some leave before joining the new vessel M.V. Skycrest in La Seyne.
