I worked on a number of Shell Tankers, between 1951 and 1955. The Haustrum was the last.
I joined her at Newcastle on 19/2/55 and was discharged on 2/9/55. It was an enjoyable few months.
We sailed mainly between Curacao,and Argentina and Uruguay

Re San Flaviano in Balik Papan. A few hours after you on the Bursa. As you say, a bit scary. Was it 1959 or 1960? Can't remember now. Seems a lifetime ago. It is!!

I was on her when we were the first ship that went to Balikpapan after the San Flaviano was sunk by the C.I.A. Scary. lifeboats down to water ready to jump in

I was on the 'Haustellum' around 1964 doing the Saigon/ Singapore run, the same time I believe as the 'Haustrum'. Can anyone confirm that the 'Haustrum' was hit by gunfire/rockets whilst navigating the Mekong Delta ? Many thanks.
