    I was on Faraday as deckboy between May 78 and Nov 78. 2nd mate and AB called Ernie (a lovely brummie guy) tragically died and were buried at sea...off coast of West Virginia as I recall.

    Keith you have to realize that means very little to me. l left home at 16 and apart from latterly spent more time away than ever in the uk. All in all with the 29 years of permancy in Australia my shore life has been much more out here than the UK. It’s like going back to Timbuktu whenever visit as all is changed , in my opinion not for the better, but that is only my opinion I don’t have to live there anymore. So Tyne Built Ships 1970 is not what I was seeking but thanks anyway. What I was seeking was the company to see if it was In my memory of some Or very little of the forgotten past. Cheers JS.

    John, like you I have been out of the UK more than in it.

    The changes, and all countries change over time, is too much to comprehend at one time.
    Very little for the better I would say, London the city of my birth is in many parts hard to know it has changed so much.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Life is too short to blend in.

    John post 5,The photographs that have been posted by Keith show the ship in the livery colours of Houlder Brothers the British shipping company. She was original registered in the U.K. According to the 'Ship List ' Houlders became a subsidiary of Furness Withy in 1911 but was still run as a separate entity until 1980 when the Hong Kong shipping company C.Y.Tung took over Furness Withy. She changed from the U.K. flag to Hong Kong registry in 1992 and was scrapped 1n 1993.

    #9.. The Chinese crew that I sailed with were out of Hong Kong but were very rarely residents of there. Some may think they were Hong Kong citizens they were not , they came from different provinces in China, the deck crew and engine crew and the catering crew all had different likes and dislikes as to food and appointed their own cook and chose their own manner of feeding. The ships I was on they were 10/- a month dearer than a Philippino crew. This was in 1969. JS
