Thanks for that info Roger. 45 years later and I'm still learning. I did that run a couple of times on 2 tramps in particular, one of them included Japan on the run. Never heard the term though.

The idea of bringing back the old system is appealing. I recall typing in the names of two of the 14 ships I sailed in as well as Huntingdon. I saw the names however they must have baled out of the site early as there was "no appearance you worship". I even found a fellow who was in the same hut as me at the Vindi.

Thanks for your comments Roger. Your post reminded me of another question that I've pondered when seeing the acronym M.A.N.Z. What does it stand for. I figure that the N.Z. is Kiwi...?

I was alwasy under the impression it stood for Montreal, Australia, New Zealand.

[Duke Drennan]

Thanks John, that's what Roger told me too.

[Keith Tindell]

just been looking through some of the old threads, and came across this one, must have been away when it first came on line. The only person that i have come across on this site that i was on the same ship as was Vernon on the Stirling Castle 1959 ish, but unfortunately we did not meet at that time. Vernon must have the crew list, because it was him that told me we were both on that trip. KT

I sailed with "Chicago" on the Port Caroline, joined in Aden, did Ausie and Kiwi and paid off in Avonmouth, Nov. '77 to Mar. '78. Regards, Tony Geeves.
