Hi folks,
Any old Royal Mail shipmates out there. I sailed with RML from 1962-1971, from apprentice to 2nd Mate. Was 4th mate on Loch Garth for a year, did a stint on Andes as J/4/O then S/4/O, followed by 3rd mate & 2nd mate on 3 'Y' boats, 2 'E' boats and left in '71. Then followed 32 years in ferries from Dover retiring in 2003 as Senior Master. Have tried unsuccessfully for years to find old mates with no success - help!

In 78 I was in New Jersey when the Andes came in with Japanese cars. It had been converted by Hoeg and I think Ugland had something to do with it too. The Amazon had been done by them too. T!hey had Scandinavian officers and Philipino crew. Anyone know any more about this?
