I have just found out that my Father at the
age of 14 sailed on the Arawa to New Zealand.
He came back to live in Liverpool years later

I sailed as a p/r steward on the Aranda in 1969 one of the better ships I served on.

I sailed on the Aranda as a QM, joined the ship on 7th Nov 1969 jumped ship in Sydney 7th Jan 1970, that same trip my mate Peter Smithson fell down the hatch in Auckland, I often wonder what happened to him. I lived in Sydney for 6 months then moved to Toronto Canada on June 6th. 1970. Now retired in Hope BC Canada. My cabin mate was Con (Conrad)

I sailed on the Akaroa 6th January 1969, to Australia and NZ - we had to unload cargo ( mainly bundles of wool ) on deck as it was in danger of spontaneous combustion. My first world trip - whatever happened to my mate Glen from Charlton, Jock and the guy from Leeds? They were good days. Who remembers Polly and Lena?

Hi Brian I sailed on the Akaroa the trip she caught fire. I was in charge of lifeboat 3. Apart from the fire it was a good trip. Joe
