Hello all.
Just signed on today, so thought I'd stop by and introduce myself. I'm Roger Merralls, and I was as sea from 1964 to 1985, mainly with BP Tankers, but did spend some time on the small Denholm ore carriers that ran out of Port Talbot. I was on deck until integrated manning came along, when I ended up down the 'Pit' as well. I was CPO (Bosun) from '73 till I left.
I am now located in Caerphilly, South Wales.
All the best,
Roger.
