You were lucky pete it must have been nearly new when you were on it.pete said:Luxor was my first ship 23/2/61 to 3/8/61. Always remember the Master was Bill Luckey and as far as I can rmember we did a couple of trips to the Meddy and a couple to Venezuela, and possibly one to the Gulf. Not too sure now (Mists of Time!!).
My next trip was on the Old Lumen, built around 1950, and it was terrible, but that is another story.......................pete
You must have lost a bit of weight on her,I sailed on her for 2 to 3 years between 1961 and 1969 like you down the coal hole.Semaj said:Hello R798780
I had my 21st Birthday onboard the MV Luxor on the 26th of January 1966 so I know for definite it was in Calcutta. I was a junior Engineer at the time. It was a great Ship to be on.
Unfortunately my life at sea was short but never forgotten.

I loved that engine room, the workshop being my favourite.D YEO said:Sailed on the Luxor four times and the Lumen 1959 to 1960, down the coal hole.

The the whole ship was cool to me, but that little machine shop was my favourite place, after an Indian Crew Ship it was good to get it to my own.Derek Roger said:Semaj ' The workshop was the only cool place !! What are you telling us >??????

I remember paying a fee to be a life time member of that bar and many a happy time I had in it.Marcus Cardew said:I was 2/0 on the Luxor from 10th April 74 to 21st July, Bandar Mashar to Japan and back... First (and only) Tanker I was ever on. The only ship that I was ever on that the approved entry / exit point from the Bar (Aft accomodation, starboard side) was through a forrrad scuttle... One had to climb up outside to get to it. There was an inboard door into the accomodation, but it's use was frowned upon.....
