C&H Crichton., Liverpool ,51% owned by Ellermans,serviced all Ellerman ships whilst in Liverpool or Birkenhead.I served my apprenticeship with them 1951-56.
I most probably worked on more Ellerman ships than anyone who served with the company! Anyone else out there served their time with Crichton's?
I remember the worst ships were some City ships with 6cyl Doxford's with boilers and steam auxiliaries,and the smart engine rooms of Ellerman Papayanni
ships.
