    Default Ancient Mariner!

    Hi

    Joined a few days ago and after reading some of the posts I've started feeling like the ANCIENT MARINER!!

    I sailed with UCL, Shaw Saville, NZSC, Orient Line, Safmarine,etc. If you read my profile, or whatever they call it, you'll find all the ships I sailed on and when.

    I don't know if you've had any success locating old ship mates but so far I've struck out. Maybe because I'm looking for the dead and the dying!

    I've got an old shipmate who has lived in Brisbane for over thirty years now, somewhere near a place called Cleveland I think. I only found that out about three years ago. We shipped out together on the Orion, Oronsay and the Orcades in 57/58/. We had some great days/nights in Oz. Haven't been back there since 83 on a Safmarine ship.

    Have a nice day and happy hunting.

    Cheers
    Jim

    Default Cleveland

    Hi Jim,

    Thanks for your post. Only joined this site yesterday so not really got the hang of it yet. Cleveland eh? about 45 minutes away from me, my daughter lives over that way at Alexandra Hills, Cleveland is by the sea and a nice part of Queensland, not too far from Brisbane.
    Looks like you lasted longer at sea than me, I only did 4 years, met my first wife who used to work for Shaw Savill in their office in London, we got married and the rest, as they say is history. Have been in Oz now since 1973, have just retired after doing 36 years in the Police here, quite a transformation from being a steward to being a copper but hey, you have to earn a living. regards,
    Ian.
