Derwent 1967.
Swallowed the anchor in 1978, (as did so many others) ended up as a
Policeman in Sheffield.
I was at PWSTS from May to September 1967, Derwent class. First ship was
'Port Napier' with Kenny Booth (same class). I did 11 years all told,
sailed with Port Line, Blue Star, King Line, Palm Line, Everards, P&O,
Buries Markes and a few others. Unfortunately I can't remember many of the
lads who were in Derwent at the same time. I never saw any of them again.
I've still got a copy of the class photo. Am now living in land locked
Rotherham but still maintain an interest (the wife says its an obsession)
in all aspects of ships & shipping and regularly go ship spotting around
the Humber and Tees. |
