My mum remembers that her father, Philip Sharer, captained this vessel. I don't know of any dates unfortunately bit if anyone out there crewed with him and could tell me anything about any journeys, places or anything about him I'd be really grateful. I have memories as a kid spending time round his house and all the seeing souvenirs he collected from his travels. He also had a Shell flag desk ornament that i used to love raising and lowering. I never got the chance to know him as well as I'd have liked to and would've loved to have heard him tell of his time at sea. Any information... good or bad (!) I'd love to hear it. |

My first trip to sea, and joined the ship in Hamburg I have never forgot the smell of a ship for the first time and the sence of being of no help to anyone as it all seemed so strange ,however it was a case of getting on with it, witch I did, and home for Christmas like an old sea dog. |
