A shoal of Skippers

...a convoy of Captains?

...or a raft of Masters?

...or even a fleet of 4 Ringers?

He was known as Haggis Anderson.

How many were Kiwi's?

The first three are Kiwi's the other two are Scots.
Thanks KPC it was Haggis. He was my last Captain before coming ashore from the ARAHANGA, Haggis joined Strait Shipping.

I have good memories of Charlie Palmer - When I joined the ARAMOANA as QM he was the master, coming on to the bridge he was suprised to see such a young and handsome QM. This obviously alarmed him and I was quickly asked to come into his office where he commenced to read me the riot- act warning me this would be my one and only warning and any funny business would not be tolerated - After that we got on really well !!!!
Captain Palmer seldom spoke while on the bridge other than to give orders but when he did it tended to revolve around rugby - which he loved. I remember him as an excellent ship handler. He has since "crossed the bar"

A very interesting lot of postings to a good photograph. One of them wasn't as good a ship handler as the others.

Looking at this photo and other similar ones I have seen, I often wonder why some officers prefer to wear a Company cap badge whilst others obviously prefer to wear the standard Merchant Navy one. I am sure there must be a valid reason.
