Well Vernon Logger Lloyd did not get that name for just being a nice guy, he got it because he had the envious record of having logged more crew than any other Castle ship's captain. He had a brother, swivel eye Lloyd. He lost one in the war, but could see more out of the one lefdt than most could with two. Captains inspection and he would go through a dozen white gloves checking for dust etc. Great times though.:eek:
Hello again, Well it seems my search at the Archives has come to an end with no information available to locate my partners Father. I have come to the conclusion that John must have worked past 1972 which would mean his pouch would not be there. I found a 1962 crew list at the Archives for the Stirling Castle which was very interesting to read but gave me no information I was seeking. I have one option left and that is to visit the Maritime Museum in Greenwich which does hold the 1965 crew list, but and a big BUT...The list has been moved due to the Museum having a refit. The list wont be available now until June 2009. I will have to bite my nails for 2 months or more. If he was honest from the start, then he should be in the 1965 crew list. I want to thankyou all that have helped me and a special thankyou to Castleman who has followed my threads with help and interest. I know in my heart I will find him on the list and then hopefully find him in person.
