    The first ship I joined, in Tilbury, Nov. 1969, got up to the outside alleyway at the top of the gangway when I heard this female voice coming from one of the cabins. Was most disconglomerated. Found out she was the 2/E/O's wife. The 2nd mate also had his wife and daughter on board. No problems. I was on a ship for 2 years running between Japan and the Gulf. At one point there were 6 wives on board, mine included. Only one bit of trouble when one of the wives thought she had "seniority" and decided to tell one of the lads what he should and could do. This was in the bar. The lad then told her in no uncertain terms that she should shut her ******* mouth, that she was allowed in the bar under sufferance and could quite easily be kicked out. She went off in a huff and complained to hubby. She was very quiet from then on as hubby told her the same. Apart from that though every body mucked in and enjoyed the trips. My wife was on board for 18 months of the 2 years which was great. As she is Japanese, it was like getting home every 3 months for us.
    Regards to all.

    There was the husband of my mothers cousin who had been at sea.
    By the time I was old enough to understand all about it he was on the Woolwich Ferry as Bosun.
    Just before I signed up he told me this.

    'You will find many females at sea who are not real females"

    That was all he told me, never elaborated on it. But i soon found out what he meant.

    But did have the 'pleasure' of some wives on the Windsor when I was officers steward, not always the best to have on board from what I observed.

    Going back to the Gizinta, you must be carful what Gazinta the Guzunda!!

    Good evening
    I have just discovered that my Grandmother was registered as a MN stewardess in the 1920s. Her husband later became Captain and OBE. I have no idea if they served together on the same vessel. Research time ��

    #51...Chris did you have any luck with information from St. James Palace or would they not divulge information. ? It is a condition of acceptance for such Orders as your relative had that all his movements should if possible be notified to them, and also they were notified on a holders death. Basically I should imagine , so that the number of Awards in existance to live recipients should be known to allow for any future ones. Every such Award there are a limited amount available in the Orders of Knighthood which a lot of people dont realize, and is strictly adhered to , the higher up the fewer Awards are allowed. I am asking so as to increase my own knowledge of the system. Thanks. JWS

    Hi John
    Good to hear from you Sir. No I didnt get in touch with St James Palace. It is something I will add to my list as it looks like I may be going on furlough soon. Capt William Hare`s father was William James Hare, listed as Mariner in his wedding record and absent Sailor at Capt Williams birth. Do you feel these terms refer to MN, RN or RNVR perhaps? I have not been successful in tracking him down.
