Originally from Paisley, Scotland. Sailed as
leckie on Cape York, Cape Sable and Baron
Cawdor. I don't regret one minute of the time I
shared at sea with so many fantastic characters.
Unfortunately I have lost touch with most of
them, but I still keep in touch with John Drury,
who visited here in October 2002. Still can't
get hold of George Ramshaw or Charlie McCurdy. I
thought my steam generated computer had blown a
gasket when I couldn't log on to the old site.
But the new one looks like a winner.
Congratulations Ian. |

Hello to all, special hello to the characters
that I sailed with, nice to see a few familiar
names,only trouble is we all so much older and
maybe a little slower, gave up going to sea
1996,still not sure if I miss it or not! I
still see the occasional ex SSM engineer around
my part of the world it's alway good to catch up
All the best to you all |

Just thought I'd add my ha'penny's worth to
thank Ian for his hard work in re-instating the
guestbook. It's great keeping up with news on
old shipmates.
I'm still piloting tankers in, out and around
about Scapa Flow with Ernie Moodie. Other ex
SSM bods I occasionally see up here are Charlie
Dowie, Jim Croy, Charlie Groundwater, Stevie
Burgess and Billy Beads.
By the way, anyone out there who hasn't been to
an SSM reunion - don't not go again!! It's a
great day. Huge numbers of characters turned up
last year (and might still be there for all I
know - I wonder if Nick Battersby ever got back
to Kiwi?). Anyway, I believe this year's is on
the 8th December - time enough to prepare - you
may need it!

Great to see the Guest Book up & running again.
Well done Ian.
I am putting together a cd(s) of the ships and
their histories. I hope to have it ready for the
next reunion. Lots of photographs but I am
missing two. The Temple Hall and the ill fated
Brittenberg. A few promises of photo's of these
two but nothing yet has turned up. Would
appreciate anyone with a photograph of either
getting in touch.
Would that be the Gordon Andrews who was Leckie
on the Cape St Vincent in '72?
Best regards to all old ship mates.

Never thought I would lay eyes on the Cape Horn
again, a ship that blighted my life for a good few
years!
Presently engaged in carting large quantities of
bulk cement around the Indian Ocean: this must be
the farthest you can get from a 'dangerous cargo',
something which have successfully avoided over
the years.
Contemplating jacking it all in early 2006 to do
'nowt', as David Wright puts it. Perhaps he can get
in touch sometime & we can have a game of golf
in Hexham. |

Well done Ian in setting up another guest book.
Its great to see so many former shipmates
tuning in to this website.
I would think this year's Reunion could be
bigger than last year's one and its down in
many ways to Ian's sterling efforts. |

At last a guestbook that works, shame about the
last one. Does anyone have a pic of the Baron
Renfrew, preferably in glorious colour,
although black and white will do, if so could
you please mail it to this address. I wasnt on
it long just a couple of weeks, the engine was
in pieces in Leith,fitters everywhere, think it
was May/June 77, paid of in South Shields and
joined the Cape Rodney in Singapore in 7/7/77.
Fraser was the Captain, Bagpipes in the focsle,
still haunts me yet. Also does anyone have
photos of the reunion, it would be good to look
at someone elses pics. Cheers for now, Iain |
