Welcome: Because of the amount of comments,
support and input from members of the public
having the total archive of comments on one page is now
impractical. We have now separated the comments
by year.
If this is your first visit to the site I
strongly recommend that you start from the beginning as there are some great stories and links.

For 5 weeks approx 1967 working as a junior engineer we were laid up on an NZSC vessel on the River Blackwater Essex UK. Unfortunately, I'm struggling to remember the ships name. I'm sure it was a county class vessel,and may have been the Dorset. My first vessel was the Mataura, which I joined in Japan for maiden voyage to Bluff, NZ. Hope you can blow away the cobwebs and enlighten me. Garry Millet
