Forthbank master: Murdo Macdonald - was my first cousin. Just spoke to his widow who confirmed that this would be 1973 - maiden voyage UK to New Orleans. Murdo passed away in 2003, aged 65.
I was Elmbank 1st Leckie ( I McArthur) still in touch with J Crerand R/O, F Varley 5th then 4th Eng, M Bibby Cadet and also GA Moncur 6th Eng listed for Ernebank but joined Elmbank when 4th K Golledge paid off early and F Varley moved up to 4th a short way into voyage. Overall a good crowd of lads to sail with.
