    Default s.a.vaal

    hi Pete, i am a new member.also sailed on the vaal in 1967,& again in 1973.the first time i was a j.o.s,four in a cabin.very clean ship.i remember the skipper on cabin inspection,if your bunk was not made by board of trade standard.or loose clothes hanging about,or dust.he would mess the cabin up.he used a trolley with mirror & white gloves.no joke.in 1973 was my last ever trip.not a good one,i was a e.d.h,i was given the job as swimming pool attendant i had a cabin with a lad from hull?he looked after the passenger gang way.a big lad about 6ft2,with long blond hair,that was until he got nabbed with a lot of weed in the cabin in Durban,he got eight years hard labor,we had a passenger from Capetown die.& they berried him at sea.then there was stewardess who jumped off the stern.i was on the bridge that night wot a commotion. all the alarms went off with officers shouting man overboard i spent some time in a life boat looking for her.i think the captain was not pleased because no officer on the bridge had put a marker over the side,when we got back to Southampton he gave all the crew a lecture,he was not a happy bunny.

    The Captain with a taste for the immaculate was Swivel Eyed Lloyd , there are a lot of discussions about him here

    I was Junior third Engineer on the SA Vaal from 1972 to 1973 and remember having just getting stuck into a midday beer whem I had to turn as a stewardess had jumped overboard from the well deck. I was on 12-8 watch at time and did not get out of the engine room until midnight. Jeff Vetcher
