I joined Thalamus in Singapore after a 12-month world-wide cruise on the Ninella. The Thalamus had been out east for a long time with a British crew, most of whom had died, jumped ship, got DT's, fallen overboard or otherwise become incapacitated. |

Joined Thalamus in December 1954 as 5th engineer in South Shields. In April 1954 Thalamus was sent to the aid of the San Cirilo after the boiler explosion which killed all the engineers apart from the Chief and two firemen. Chief Engineer Macaulay arranged for 3rd engineer and two 5ths to be put aboard Cirilo,I was one of them. |
