Joined Port Nicholson in Belfast late 1966 as a D/boy and sailed on her and other Port line vessels until 1970 when i joined ACT 1 in Antwerp
Frank Butler was bosun at the time and an easy man to get along with

Ex Port Line
Hi Calum. Spent a many happy years with Port Line, starting from Galley Boy, and finishing up as Second Steward. I was on the Port Nicholson from 2nd Febuary - 19th August 1966. I would class the Port Nicholson as the best ship that I have sailed on ( and there are a few ) Welcome to the site and enjoy yourself. Take care....... Terry
