My step father Harry Redman sailed as junior engineer on the Vivien Louise in the 1950's. His picture of the ship has a totally different superstructure midships and stern from all other pictures. Did it have a rebuild in its career.

I joined the ship in Barrow in Furness and sailed on her from my home town in 1957 until 1958. I was the Electrical officer at that time called "Lecky". My wife Joyce and baby daughter Sharon joined us at Gravesend, while the ship was in dry dock. The pilot brought baby milk onboard. The chief engineer "Killer Cane", and baby Sharon got on like a house on fire! An enjoyable encounter for us all and a good crew!

Hi John,
Just a bit of info. I sailed with a 5/E. Called Mike Hardy on the Volsella in 1963/4.
Afraid I have no further info on him.

Hi John, I live in Hunstanton so does a C/E. Whereabouts do you live

Hi Kees,
Looking for the whereabouts of a junior engineer named Mike 'Hands' Hardy who sailed with me on the Axina and came from Yarmouth Norfolk UK.
I am at present living in Norfolk and would love to hear that he is alive and well.
Ken Waterworth was the Chief Engineer on board at the time.
Would appreciate any contacts who knew this lovely guy.

Zijn er nog bekenden die hier wel eens uit sentiment naar kijken?

Were you on Hemicardium in June 1965?
Thanks,
Diane

My father was the 4th engineer on board of the Letecia when she was attacked by the U47 on 27-6-1940. He was one of the persons who were picked up by this German submarine. He sailed during the war for the CSM. After the war he had his career as a successful engineer and died on 16-12-2012 at the age of 95 years.
