Never sailed on any of those mentioned mate, but did sail with a few of the companies above. He must have been a shipping federation member as opposed to a company man.

He must have been a shipping federation member as opposed to a company man.Think he was in his earlier days mate, I remember he sailed with the Ben Line for a while & also when based at Leith docks "pool" he sailed on The Dorset Coast & the Roth Beaver. He also worked for Vickers & sailed on the Viking & the Vanguard. There are hundreds more but Ive yet to find them, he finished up in the late 80's working on the oil rig supply vessels whilst based in Aberdeen.
