John
Hello,
I worked on many cargo ships and BP tanker in the 1960s and early 70s, and was relief keeper on Scottish coast
including Cape Wrath and Bass Rock, and lighthouse ship MV "Hesperus" (cook/stwd), passenger ships of the
Union Castle Line, Carnarvon Castle and Stirling Castle. I will post pictures when I figure out how to use the site properly,
hope this works,
John Blaney
