Anecdotes
| Tanker | Anecdote | Post date | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| AMASTRA (2) |
1980 saw my third trip on the Amastra and I have to say this ship brings back some of my favourite memories. |

| AMASTRA (2) |
I joined in Cardiff where she was carrying out a largly DIY refit with the excess of engineers the company had at the time. |
06/08/2012 - 16:19 | |
| DONOVANIA (2) |
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 |
06/08/2012 - 18:00 | |
| DRUPA (2) |
I had just come from motor ships and was gaining sea time for my steam ticket so was fairly inexperienced on them. |
06/11/2012 - 12:09 | |
| ERVILIA |
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. |
06/11/2012 - 13:28 | |
| POMELLA (2) |
Shell parted company with this ship not that long after I paid off on a stretcher. |
