Hi All,

I joined Clan Line in 1965 as a junior engineer, my first boat being the Clan Malcolm, a beautifully fitted out vessel with wood panelling and even a pink bathroom! I carried on with the Clan boats until 1973 and sailed on some fruit boats including the infamous Rustenburg Castle.

As regards songs and shanties, I recognise most of those posted, although I see no mention of 'The Lampton Worm' (it grewed an awfee size). I think it is a geordie song but I can't recall the rest of the lyrics.
