Sorry don't remember a stowaway
Sorry don't remember that incident.
On the Ranald we recieved a message from the northbound Mail ship, that they had a stowaway onboard. We were requested to meet with her and transfer the stowaway. We change course and prepared our lifeboat for the pickup only to be informed by the mailship that the weather was to bad for the transfer.
this was 1965 her name was Irean bowen she jumped off port eliz...there was also a passenger that jumped but i was not on her then, or cant remember
am trying to find details of an Irene Bowell who died in the mid-sixties from a cruise ship. I've found a marine death entry for someone of the same name on the Transvaal Castle in 1965. Can anyone give me any details of this death, please?

The person that went over the wall in 1970 was a male passenger, as I remember it was after the ship left Las Palmas. The person was in the water for something like 12 hours and found alive after the ship went back, the Chief Officer at the time was a little fella by the name of Wilson.
