I was wondering if anyone worked for Everards in the late 70s - early 80s. For the first few years of my working life I was employed ashore in their London office as a trainee agency clerk. Entrusted with the job of customs clearance and returning ship's do***ents aboard, I became familiar with some of the crew members around at that time. I remember Jimmy Miller, who was skipper of the Doris I. The ship was on a regular run bringing edibles from ARA to the Pura works at Bow Creek and he was often to be found emerging from the tanks caked in lard. Then there was a husband and wife team who were skipper and first mate of one of the 'C' class coasters - the Commodity I think. The name Gordon Gant rings a bell. Was it him and his wife? I've got such a bad memory for people's names, but I'm sure I'll remember more if I see them here.
