I loved this ship and served on her on two occasions. The one
thing I will never forget was the trip from Melbourne across
the Pacific to the Panama Canal. We had a failed boiler in the
engine room and if that was not enough, a horrific storm which
lasted over 4 days and battered the 'Anadara.'Captain Harland
was a great skipper. I was 2nd steward on that trip. Would like
to touch base with anyone who sailed on the 'Anadara'in this
Period. Fantastic times on this vessel.

I had a tremendous trip on this great ship she had just completed here first Dry docking at South Shields .... a 13 months voyage with Capt T Green great ports great crew great food I was 18 when we left and 20 when we came back .... the last photo here I know well she is arriving at Hobart Tasmania April 61 while we were on the Aussie coast its a great photo

Would anyone be interested in the events from October 1961 to March 1962.
I would also like to ask whther Bob Montgomery had a ginger beard in 1961.
Also did Tommy the galley boy come from South Shields and have a very strong geordie accent.
In my navy uniform and white cap the crew would sometimes call out "ice cream".
I was 17 and straight from school when I joined Shell Tankers in October 1961 in Rouen.

Joined the vessel in Skaramanga dry-dock in 1974 as an engineer cadet. We were there during the fall of the military junta in July 1974

My first shell tanker Joined her in Curacao, Carribean islands ans US for 6 months (happy days) The Bosun was a scouser, Tommy Heath (anyone remember him) an absolute legend,The only man I know, who had his shore leave stopped,his subs stopped AND his tap stopped ALL AT THE SAME TIME. Paid off in New York,ran aground under pilotage in the river, had to wait for tugs to pull us off, consequenrtly we missed our flight home. I can remember riding round New York in a minibus ,with the agent trying to get us in a hotel, he eventually got us in to the TAFT (very posh) two of the lads had to share the honeymoon suite, We took all the rooms they had left
Does'nt seem like that was 40 years ago.
