I should have visited this site years ago. Wonderful tales from a bygone age.
Some of the old Masters, Chiefs and Snr Electricians and Ch Stewards I sailed
with in the early 80's with Ocean Fleets spoke of the old days and especially
the dawn of the new age with the Super P's. I was glad to read why. I also
remember fond thoughts about Centaur's travels except the smell of those sheep
etc.
I was fortunate to sail on some good ships and 9 years of Ocean (Blue Funnel and
ED). From Aulis to Iliad House, Oddy Works and India Buildings, L class, a
steamer (Tantalus), the new M class and the RoRos (Priam, Perseus and Hector)I
had a great time leaving with a 2nd's ticket and 2 stripes as a 3rd Engineer.
It's been 23 years since I left and I feel I could pop back into it in a jiffy.
I will come back again for more nostalgic memories of the sea. Fabulous site.
Thanks.

Hi Tony, googled the Roe Deer container ship and found your website. Spent seven
great years in the merch (75-82) and spent one of the worst weeks of my life on
the Roe Deer. Dam thing did everything but sink!!! I've lost my discharge book
over the years but i reckon that your last trip would had been the week i spent
on there. I was a catering boy and i remember the there was only 13 crew
including the officers and the whole catering dept consisted of me and the cook.
You won't remember me as my job was to look after the officers and it was only
one week out of our careeers. But i will never forget that week (I never
stuffered from sea sickness once over that period but that was the worst i ever
felt)i remember not being able to walk straight when I got of in Tilbury and i
was very glad to be on solid ground once more. Rick Walford
Great to hear from you Rick. As I recall the Roe Deer was a
very poor sea ship, and used to roll like hell in bad weather, No wonder you
remember that aspect of her.
All the best Tony.

What a treat to find this site, and all the info on the Blue Funnel Line!
Our family took the Diomed from Liverpool to Hong Kong in 1959. It was a
freighter which also carried 12 passengers. For a swimming pool (what luxury!)
there was a big canvas bag on deck full of seawater. I was only 7 years old at
the time.
We stopped in Singapore for 6 days, as the ship was cleaning out its bulk
storage tanks prior to taking on board the first ever shipment of bulk peanut
oil . After the tanks had been cleaned we went paid to Port Swettenham to load
the oil, then again to Singapore for a brief shop before starting on the final
leg to Hong Kong.
About half way across the China sea we ran into and through a Major Typhoon! The
ship took a pretty good battering, with the sea constantly coming well over the
bow and often hitting the bridge. It was pretty exciting!
The total trip was 46 days, arriving in Hong Kong on 23 October 1959. Of all the
trips we took back and forth between Hong Kong and England in the 1950's (my
mother's family lived in Carmarthen), this was the best, because as the only
kids onboard, my sister and I got to know the whole crew, and had complete run
of the ship, including the wheelhouse and engine room.

Hello there,
I just wanted to say thank you very much for your wonderful website. I am
tracing my family tree currently and was a little stumped when I was trying to
find out the maiden name of the woman my GG Grandad married; searching for a
Catherine who married Thomas John Williams is like looking for a needle in the
proverbial haystack!
I had a stroke of luck on the 1881 census for the pair of them, it said that
Catherine's birthplace was Bwlchgareg, Rhiw.. Usually, I have found that
people's birthplaces tended to be an area, and then a district, it never crossed
my mind that it could be a house/cottage name!
Imagine my surprise when I 'googled' Bwlchgareg and your website came up with
(firstly a suggestion that what I was really looking for was Bwlchgarreg!)
an article about Tudur Dylan winning the
Chair
at the National Eisteddfod, I read along, to see that he spends his holidays in
a cottage called Bwlchgarreg, which has been in his wife's family for
generations!
I explored your website a little more, and saw that you have transcribed the
census records going back to 1861, an absolutely mammoth feat by the way, well
done! I hoped that when I searched the Rhiw records I would find a Catherine
living in Bwlchgarreg, and I did!! She was the daughter of Isaac and Hannah, and
now I have estimated birth years for them too..
Without your website, I'm pretty sure it would have been near impossible for me
to find that out, so I wanted to extend my thanks to you, I'm so glad that there
are people that care enough about the places they live to want to celebrate it
in this way, Rhiw should be proud to have you!
Many thanks again,
Heather Williams, (GGG Grandaughter of Issac Roberts, Rhiw)

The Big Remembrance
24 hour Act of Remembrance on World Maritime Day
Maritime Charity urges public to remember merchant seafarers on 23rd September
To mark World Maritime Day during the International Year of the Seafarer the
Principal Chaplain of the global charity Sailors’ Society will be leading a
ceremony during which each of the 35,675 names on the National Merchant Navy
Memorials in Trinity Gardens, London will be read aloud.
The Tower Hill memorial which was built by the Commonwealth War Graves
Commission and unveiled in December 1928, stands as a visible reminder of the
sacrifices made by Merchant Seafarers in times of military conflict, and who
have no grave but the sea.
The Sailors’ Society is committed to replacing isolation with belonging for the
world’s seafarers and has supported them and their families for the past 193
years. The Society believes that the event will serve as a formal and dignified
Act of Remembrance. It will take 24 hours to read each name on the memorial and
ensure that each and every seafarer’s contribution has been recognised.
Principal Chaplain Revd. David Potterton will be assisted in the reading by
other Sailors’ Society Port Chaplains, staff and supporters, as well as by
Merchant Navy Veterans from the Prince of Wales Sea Training School Association,
remembering their shipmates who perished at sea.
Revd David Potterton, Principal Chaplain at the Sailors’ Society said,
"We wanted every name on the memorials to be read on World Maritime Day as a
reminder of the huge loss of merchant seafarers in times of military conflict.
Every ship and every name will be remembered to ensure that they are honoured
and not forgotten."
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission, which built and now maintains the Tower
Hill Memorial is backing the event. The Commission's Director-General Richard
Kellaway said:
"At over 22,500 sites in 150 countries, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission
helps ensure that those men and women who laid down their lives are never
forgotten. I hope this event to honour seafarers will help remind people of the
sacrifice of those who helped keep Britain and the Commonwealth supplied during
the darkest days of war."
The reading of names will commence at 0001hrs on 23rd September and conclude at
2400hrs the same day.

It is good to be able, with the aid of your site, to recall good times with
ED/Ocean Fleets, from 1963 to 1970. In retrospect, having read the P and H boat
notes, it seems that I found a new career path before being pushed to do so,
although every subsequent job bar one involved the sea and/or ships.
In 1968 I had just left Ebani and, whilst in India Buildings, asked if there was
any chance of a steamship. I joined Perseus that day as 7th Eng. Whilst my
celtic heritage is Cornish the coasting skipper was the usual Welsh type, in
this case 'Ale House' Jones.
It was strange starting on the first rung again since this was to be my 9th trip
deep sea, whilst the other two juniors could muster 3 between them. In spite of
the general reliability of the steamships, during coasting, we left Dublin on
one boiler, there being a failed steam joint in the line from the other.
Thereafter, we were trouble free averaging 18.5kts for the voyage. It remains a
mystery why there was always negative propeller slip. i.e. the ship was always
going faster.
For the first (and last) time I had a thwartships bunk, in what had been
passenger accommodation. This was usually comfortable, sea conditions being
generally benign. Where life became a little more interesting was on the long
haul across the Pacific, where, with the loss of weight in the double bottoms,
12 (or was it 24) hours fuel consumption eventually resulted in a 5deg list.
This challenge I was able to resolve since, as it was me transfering oil, it was
possible to arrange that my pillow was always higher than the foot of the bunk -
failing which I guess that I could have transfered the pillow.
We lost fresh water for some time - evaporated water just doesn't taste the
same, but it seemed to help with shaving, where, perhaps, it just dissolved a
beard. When tank access was finally made, the offending jacket, left by one of
the guys cement (or was it lime) washing the tank whilst in Birkenhead, was
removed from the end of the suction pipe. It was probably the first wash for the
jacket, which appeared to have spent a few nights in the gutter outside an ale
house. Didn't bear thinking about, really.
Coasting the Glenfinlas some 15 months later was a totally different experience.
Congratulations on the quality of the web site.

Wonderful site. My mother, Blodwen Jones's family came from Rhiw in the 19th
century. Griffith Evans (1771-1843) her great great g'father is in the 1841
census. He was a weaver, living at Tan y Graig (Bwthyn Ysgau now) with his
daughter Mary Evans (1791-?). I believe Mary was the wife of William Evans,
living in 1851 at Tan y Muriau and one of their daughters, Anne Evans became the
mother of William Arthur Jones. His family came from Aberdaron, and although
first of all a fisherman there he moved to Rhiw (Tan y Graig), and then to
Tremadog to work at Croesor mine in the 1880s. The photos are wonderful - how I
wish there were names attached, to the school ones especially.
