I joined in Cardiff where she was carrying out a largly DIY refit with the excess of engineers the company had at the time.

I will always remember Tommy Teapot (Seymour) the Chief Engineer, who had more than a passing resemblance to Sid James asking me a very technical question in the machinery

I had just come from motor ships and was gaining sea time for my steam ticket so was fairly inexperienced on them.

This was my last trip with Shell before leaving to work for The Sultan of Oman. My time with Shell certainly gave me a good grounding for that and later appointments.

Shell parted company with this ship not that long after I paid off on a stretcher.
