Richmond Castle
Hello Jack Tar.
I must have followed you on board the Richmond Castle, I served on Her from August 67 to Dec 67. She was a nice, clean job if my addled old mind serves me right. Also did the Tantallon Castle round the coast straight after the Richmond,I was later to serve on board Tintagel Castle Jan 70 to Sept 70 left her in East London and came home on the Windsor Castle.
Harvey.
