Hello all
Hi everyone, I was at sea from July 1959 until April 1966. Sailed out of the Royal Docks with several different companies. (Deck). I now live in Brisbane Australia, like a few other ex MN members. I guess that we're scattered to all parts of the globe. Peter.

Hi Peter,
Welcome aboard, mate, enjoy the trip. I have an acquaintance/mate living down here in Sydney (aged about 35-40) who is a
marine engineer involved in the pleasure craft industry. His name too is Peter Klumper.... wondered if he might be a relation of yours ?
