Well well.Havnt heard of that place in a long time.I missed a ship in that port (not on purpose) So myself and another A.B. with the Sparks,went back to the British Bar,skint! The then owner( 1966)put us up for the night,guys in the bar had a whip round.Next day we got bus to Christchurch,then train down to Invercargill then bus to Bluff,to rejoin ship M.V.Surrey.Federal boat.2 weeks later we sent money back to British Bar.I will never ever forget there kindness and generosity to help us out.as they say in Kiwi lingo! Bloody marvelous mate.Good Luck,and thanks for your post.Bill Seddon.
