my first ship 1969.12months 2 weeks first trip.capt a h kent ,c/omick quirk,2/obrian brocklesby,3/otim knowles.Bosun had a wooden leg !it could only get better after that trip.

I note Mick Quirk as C/O if he was from the Crosby area of Liverpool ex PSNC apprentice etc. It may well be the case that I sailed with him post his stint as a Pilot in Abu Dhabi in the early seventies, often wondered what became of him afterwards.

mick quirk still alive in 2018.Saw a photo of him at PSNC reunion.
