    Welcome to the site Ken. I to started my sea time with Everades in 1957 I was cabin boy on the Acuity. I stayed in the catering Department all my service finishing as Ships Cook. I was mainly in tankers Eagle Oil Shipping Co. then with Shell when then bought the Eagle Oil Co. then back on The Pool and shipped out on whatever they gave me. It was a great life but I don't suppose its the same now as all those years ago.

    John
