In june 1956 we sailed from the UK in ballast to the PG. In the Gulf of Biscaja, during the 4-8 watch, the trustblock housing cracked and the main engine was stopped immediately. We were floating around waiting for a tug, which towed us to Falmouth.
An emergency repair was carried out and half speed we sailed to Rotterdam / Wilton Feyenooprd yard. There the sistership Tibia undertook a graet survey and the trustblock housing from the Tibia was placed into the Taria. During that time I left the Taria to study for my A and B1 certification.
Best regards to all I know

was 3/O, toen Kapt. A.L. 't Hart in Singapore commodore werd. Werd in jan.'53 2/O. Waren het laatste schip dat op zat. 31 jan.1953 's middags omstreeks 16.30 de Waterweg verliet en dat daarbij bijna op het Noorderhoofd liep. Loods kon niet ontscheept worden. Toen ik 's nachts weer op wacht kwam, was de zee melkwit en stonden de sterren als karbonkels tegen de zwarte hemel. Loeiend stormweer, maar rustig vooruitkruipend schip. Buitenboordafsluiter open om meer ballastwater in te nemenOm 1 uur 's nachts kwamen de eerste SOS berichten van schepen in de Duitse bocht. Onze bestemming Curacao dus geen mogelijkheid tot hulpverlening. R/O Korff bleef op wacht en zodoende wisten wij al vrij vroeg dat het in Zeeland niet pluis was. Waren pas 's middgs ter hoogte van Dover, maar geen bootje naar buiten komend, zijn we doorgevaren en hebben de loods de volgende dag ter hoogte van Falmouth ontscheept. Hebben aan bvoord collecte gehouden voor de watersnood slachtoffers, waarbij de Chinezen zich ook niet onbetuigd lieten.
