Hello Doc Vernon and everyone else who are members of this great website . I feel so comforted to be in-touch with people that might have sailed with my father . His name is Christopher or Chris Walker ( 1st officer) in 1972, 73 ! He came from Harrogate UK , 1 brother and 1 sister . He had sailed on the ''Hardwick Grange'' and also on the ''Rouyston Grange'' before it's tragic end ! If anyone knows of him it would make me feel so so complete as I've not seen him since 1973 !!! Yours faithfully Rahel Clarkson aged 38 yrs old !!
