In the, sixties we picked up two British Soldiers rowing the Atlantic they came on board had a showe and got provisions and went back on the boat and rowed the rest of the way to Ireland they were very lucky to be Spotted by the third Mate at about 1100. Hours they had been lost for a couple of Weeks brave men I would say.

This was a great ship. 6 months off the Bonny river topping up loaded vessels. It gave me an appetite for ship handling which led me leaving Shell to become an Inchcape mooring master at Bonny offshore terminal. I remember the rollwiller gordie oldman with great effection and Dixie Deans the old 2nd mate what a star.
I guess that jobs like that are a thing of the past!!!!
