Hi Guys
I know there are people out there that are better detectives than Shirlock Holmes so my request I am sure will be fruitful.
I am looking for pics of a ship I sailed on in 1958 called "Ashanti Palm" She is long gone I know but still lives in my memeory

Hello, there are a couple of photo's of the Ashanti Palm in the book Palm Line by Laurence Dunn & P.M. Heaton. Thought I had a couple of my own, sadly mistaken there! If you want to get in touch will try to scan them and send them to you, Regards Graham

Thanks Ernest
Many thanks.
The free bit I like as my Scottich heritage likes those deals.
I was sent the two photo's from the book and promise not to use them commercially.
Think when I get chance I will post another story from that era when I was on the Ashanti Palm. All true!!
