    Welcome and I hope you enjoy the trip Brian. I didn't sail in same companies as you but certainly remember Victoria docks in the early 70s. I am sure you will soon find some crew mates of old on here.

    Post Welcome

    Hello Brian,

    I am searching for my father, who was also at sea during that time and sailed with Blue Star and Port Line. Perhaps you could list your ships and dates and see if any match up. Welcome to the site.

    Cheers,

    Welcome Brian to a great site. Do you have any dates to go with your ships? If so and you care to post them on site I am sure there will be some who will remember you. So sit back with a cold one and enjoy the voyage.
    Happy daze John in Oz.
