There was Also another sister ship to the Woodford, the MV Woolwich, I did send a reply to Tony Wilding about my time on the Woodford round about 1953. But not only haven't I received a reply but I can't find the reply I sent either.

Hi Tony and all
Just remembered something about the accommodation on the Woodford one of the AB's cabins had the lower portion of a Sampson post running through it, Somewhere a long time ago and I don't know what site it was on, there was a plan of the accomodation and the layout of all below deck. Unfortunately I don't know haw to find it again.
Cheers

hi tony, we had brief exchange of info regarding the greenwich. after reading the other threads it seems i missed out on modern accomodation of the later ships. do you know the history of the greenwich and when did she end her days. as i said i thought she was a liberty boat, am i correct
