Ken Kennedy, (my Dad) joined San Veronico in North Shields on 4th Dec 1944. He sailed as 2nd Mate, and was discharged in New York on 10th Feb 1945 due to ill health. He had to have an operation in hospital, and afterwards returned to the UK in the old Cunarder Aquitania. This was all taken care of by Eagle Oil, but due to the situation with ships and crews available, he was assigned by MOWT to join the cargo vessel Fort Spokane on 8th Oct 1945 until 4th Dec 1945, after which he came ashore, having served in Shell and Eagle Oil for most of WW2. |
