Hello everyone,I've just been looking through
the photo albums.Quite chuffed to see one of
myself and Bill Mahoney at a barbeque.The
crossing the line photo's bring back memories.I
was a policeman that day.Anne,Nick's wife was
one of the people to be "done".Nick came to me
and said "I don't want to be a "grass" but my
wife is hiding in the oilskin locker on deck
four." I hope she forgives you Nick.I hope to
go to the reunion this year.Who do I contact? Al |

Discovered this website thanks to Flan Howard.
joined S.S.M 1974 until end of 1985. Sailed on
Baron Belhaven, Cape Race, Baron Pentland, Cape
Ortegal and others. Have great memories of those
trips still keep in touch with a few, Richard
(Tricky) Wiggins, John Dobson, Willie Sutherland
and Heather Moffat who was married to Euan
Moffat who sadly passed away in December 2001.
Actually going to Glasgow tomorrow to visit
Heather. Now sail with Vela International on oil
tankers as E.T.O and mostly run from Persian
Gulf to Gulf of Mexico - dry ships. Has anyone
heard of Billy Loadwick who was Catering
Officer - am sure there is someone out there who
remembers him as the Ginger Gypsy. Also Duncan
Anderson where are you now Duncan. Hope to hear
from somebody who i sailed with many moons ago.

Found you all at last! Started 1968 (Cape
Nelson) finished 1980. 12 great years. Claim to
fame, hit a 'growler' on Cape Race off
Newfoundland - 2ft gash in fore peak - did,nt
even feel the bump! Since then did 2 years
yacht chartering in the Med and then sail
training off the south coast, (right, OK, so
I'm a yachtie). Well done for setting up the
site and guest book, it brings back many great
memories. Still in touch with Richard (Tricky)
Wiggins.
All the best |

Dear SSM
Brilliant site already had most helpful person
reply. Jim. Thankyou. Cape Howe.Then became
H.M.S Q Ship Prunella. Jim has steered me in
the right direction. It has insired me to find
out more about my Grandfather's Life in the
Merchant Navy.etc. Captain Duncan Cameron
Kennedy.
Who on 21 June 1940 was torpedeod by U - 28.
Duncan managed to save himself and 12 of the
Crew. He got a Mention in Despatchs. Oct 4th
1940. How ever Gunter Kuhnke a German
Commander who had sunk three ships on his
patrol got a Knights Cross.? No justice for
Merchant un armed Sea men.Duncan and the 12 men
were eventually spotted by a flying Sunderland
and then rescued on June 27th 1940. As Samuel
Duncan's father would of said "The Bakers
Dozen" As Only 13" Men Survived. |
