  • so good to see it man u rock

    please describe the life of a marine engineer coz i hav just completed my engg and want to join merchant navy

  • Brings back memories MN 1966 - 74

  • I like your video.I was in the British Merchant Navy from Aug 17th 1955 to May 20th 1970.My first ship was the Bloemfontein Castle,I was a laundry boy,then went to the U.C.L. catering school to train as a waiter.The best years of my life,I used to love the fact that I was travelling the world and getting paid for it and getting a good suntan as well.I also sailed on N.Z shipping co,Shaw Saville,Blue Star,Royal Mail, P.& O., Cunard, all 3 Queens,did cruising too.Great memories.

  • great video john,i had the chance to join the nerchant navy 30years ago and never went, its the biggest regret i have

  • Good video, some old timers there (the ships, I mean!!) sadly just a distant memory now, quite a transition I imagine from the Bank Line Liberty ship (Kelvinbank) to the regular liner voyages with Union Castle!! Never got on a Union Castle ship, nor Bowater's, but spent weeks anchored off Tanga waiting for a berth on 'Clan Boats'!!

    Still plenty of BBQ's on the beach to make up for it....happy days, thanks for the memories!

  • this inspire the most
