I joined the Thessaly June 1960 as deck boy along with Ken Frankland from Whitby, straight from Vindi. Did 3 trips leaving March 1961 to become a JOS which wasn't part the crew make up. I later rejoined as a SOS, Jan 1962 and glad to find it was still a happy ship. the skipper was still Mr. Purkins and Mr Fraine was still First Mate.At the end of the next trip Mr Fraine got his own captaincy.The ship wasn't as happy after that and a lot of the crew left (June 1962) including me.

Welcome

Anthony,

On behalf of the Moderating Team, a warm welcome aboard from the Isle of Anglesey.
There is every chance that you will meet old shipmates on SN so have a good look around and join in the banter as much as possible.
