Latia Shell 1 I sailed on the Latia Shell 1 from new (the River Tyne 1946) with Captain Paddy Dove; I believe this his first ship after his adventures on the Graf Spee.(Film ?I was a prisoner on the Graf Spee?) |

I think the first Master of this ship was the famous Captain Paddy Dove of Africa Shell and Graff Spey(SP?)fame. I think it was his first ship after his adventures. |
