This is a new and improved re-edit of this film which has been re-uploaded in a better format for You Tube.

This is part 2 of a film shot by my dad in 1966-67 when he was in the British Merchant Navy.

This film follows his travels aboard the bulk carrier Oakwood on his final voyage at sea from 06/12/1966 to 22/08/1967. This part features footage of my dad working on the ship, mainly painting and looking like a scruffy caveman (check out the Rolling Stones hair cut). Other footage is mainly of ocean going and putting down anchor at their destination in Chile ready for loading up of ore for the return trip (see part 3 for this).

I edited this film together and used music from his record and cd collection, some of it music from the 1960's which helps to give it that extra bit of authenticity.

Check out my other videos for parts 1 and 3 of this film.
