On the Empress of England, absolutely freezing working the 12-4 watch. The night baker would bring us a tray of hot rolls straight from the oven, nothing could ever smell or taste better than this.
BEST aroma to me was the soap issued to you on the "Beaveroak , one of C.P. Ships". Not the usual Buttermilk block but "Astral" (can't remember makers name ) a really nice smell.
And no we didn't all go mincing about, just smelt nice for once.
Happy days.
The smell of coffee never fails to remind my of my first trip, and being sea sick.
Not a nice reminder.
my granddads discharge books and documents from early 1910/40 the smell of tallow on them? jp
Smell of a hot diesel engine when you go on a motor ship.
For some on tankers must have been in the final stages of loading when looking for a 3 foot 6 inch ullage with the poles and nose over the ullage cap, some used to spend more time than was necessary in such a position and used to stagger off the deck with a blissful look on their faces. Probably where glue sniffing originated. JS
My cabin on the MV Port St John was midships alongside the engine room. I liked it and steady throb of the motor dozing off. Still can smell it if I close my eyes and think about it. 65/66 ago!
