I found this today by just 'googling' the boats name as my dad was on this ship hoping to find a photo or something I could order for fathers day next year. Amazing, thanks so much for it! My dads name is : Roger Gibson.

@AtomicCheese92 Hi, thanks for the comment. No, he was in the Merchant Navy from 1963 to 1968, at the start of the video it shows some of the ships he sailed on before the Oakwood which he sailed on from1967 to 1968 and where he shot this film.
