Two of the happiest trips I ever did were in the Sylvafield (Ex Empire Silver) in 1949 and the Thamesfield (T2) in 1950.
When I think of the best of my seafaring memories, those two ships, captains and crews, loom large.
I have a WSS history of Huntings which takes me up to the mid sixties, but after that the firm seems to have dropped off the edge of the earth.
I know that they bought the remnants of the Stag Line, and some of its remaining ships. But nothing else.
Can anyone enlighten me to their subsequent history up to, and including the end of the firm. I am surprised that so little information exists, since they were also active in oilfield and aircraft industries.
