Hello All

[Alan Melia]

Hello all.
Looked at this site today and saw some guys ex Bibby Line and also some shipmates from "Ships Nostalgiia"
so thought I should register here.
Profile.
Trained as R/O at Riversdale Liverpool and then joined Bibby Line in 1967.
Ships:
Coventry City(several voyages), Cheshire (60's Cargo Ship) Atlantic Bridge, Worcestershire, Warwichshire (2 seperate voyages) Cheshire (car/bulk carrier) Oxforshire (sister to Cheshire) Lincolnshire (LPG Carrier) English Bridge and several voyages on Dart America and Dart Atlantic.

Came ashore late in 1975 to teach at Brunel College Bristol, where I still am, although there is no Salt left in what we do here anymore.

Looking forward to viewing this site and meeting new ship mates.

Best Wishes

Alan

G'day allan and welcome to the site, Good list of ships you have there, any dates to go with them/ If so and you care to list them you may well get to hear from some who knew you. So sit back with a cold one and enjoy the voyage.
