The TURMOIL was sold on to Tsavliris Salvage and Towage of Piraeus Greece in 1969, being renamed NISOS DELOS. Tony W.
Thanks dave will doDaveM said:Earlier on this year I had a browse round for a refresher on the Flying Enterprise. It fascinated me as a kid and was a big part of convincing me that a life at sea was for me. I never said I was smart.
I do recall seeing something about the later history of the Turmoil then, so a root through Google's offerings for the Flying Enterprise may hold the answer you are looking for.
Good Luck
Dave
then you sailed with a great seaman. are you from aberdeen by the way? got a few relatives up there. my late father was a trawlerman out of aberdeen on the old steam trawlers till the war broke out.japottinger said:My first in MN was with Bullard King's Umgeni , was shanghaid fron Clan Line, but that is another story, Ken Dancy of Turmoil Flying/ Enterprise fame was 2nd mate.
great sailors indeed. back in the 60' i visited a pub in Falmouth, either the chain locker or the bosuns locker on the pilot quay. they have the history of the flying enterprise dissaster there, including kurt carlsons life jacket in a glass case.R58484956 said:Turmoil,Captain Dan parker and 1st Mate Dancy along with Capitain Kurt Carlson of the Flying Enterprise, 3 truly great sailors.
