It's a pineapple, but not as we know it Margaret.

would the extra 2nds wife be sandra dempster ? I sailed with sandra & davie dempster on the texaco durham on a few occasions the first time davie was a junior then i remember my last trip with them i was juinor on his watch which i think was his first trip as second, be great if anyone had contact details for them. seeing this picture really brings back really great memories

Bill, you're right.
A really nice couple.
Davy arrived on the ship with no boilersuits, and dug one up that must have belong to someone 6'6"
Davie (Being about 5'4" ) was walking down the flying bridge when Isobel, Hairy Andersons wife shouted to him, "there's a guy come along here and he's got nae legs"

Looks like a plate of "Duff", managed to eat the lot on the Cardiff !
