In 1959 I joined the Glessula at Port Harcourt, Nigeria in 1959 as a 5th Engineer. She had a capacity of 9000 tons and was being used to top up larger tankers which could not be completely filled with crude oil when in port because of the lack of draught in the river. The part loaded ship and the Glessula would sail out to Fernando Po (now called Sao Tome) where we would transfer our cargo to complete its load before returning to Port Harcourt to await the next one. |
