    Hi, The Dunelmia was my first ship, joined her at the Mercantile Dry Dock Jarrow, from May 1960 'till December 1960.
    I think you must have sailed from Immingham after we paid off their on December 15th.1960.
    I am living in South Shields now, happy memories of Durban and Livorno etc.
    Best wishes Nick Barras
