Blue Star Logbook

Thanks to David Fox for the link :

Some nice pictures and history of BSL ships

If any of you out there have other photos or stories/history that would go well on the site, please feel free to pass them to me ("j__blake" at "hotmail.com") and I'll see if we can find a space for them...

(And I DON'T mean a "readers' wives" section....oh good grief, I've just given away my reading history )

Cheers

Jim Blake

Slight correction to above.
It was Peter Dawson who found the above link and passed it onto me whilst he was swanning around Port Elizabeth waiting for a couple of tankers to turn up.

He recently admonished me when we met last week for a whet at the Ship Inn at Dunswell East Yorkshire, full of maritime artifacts. Peter pointed out a Star Chart they had in a glass case on the bulkhead along with chart dividers.

Peter who I met on the 'A' boat America Star back in April '76 with Dudley Eckworth as Master, Ron Mcintosh as Chief Engineer (r.i.p), the infamous 'Ted the Bed' Fleetwood 2/E, Dave Geekie 3/E, Paul Blathwayt 4/E (met up with Paul in October),
Trevor Horne CEE, Dennis Smith J/E.

Should anybody be in touch with any of the above, please invite them along to the Logbook.

Jim, did you mean WAGS?
