A miserable, rotten trip

[Terry Sullivan]

I quess things must have changed but I served on the Good Hope Castle in 1954 and Port Jackson in 1955 and found everyone normal on both ships, normal by seagoing standards of course.

I did 3 trips on the Good Hope Castle in 1959 and then to Hong Kong Breakers, one of the best trips. good crowd.

My shipmate Ginger and I had paid-off from a three week home-trade (h.t.) visiting ports in Holland and Germany on the "Good Hope Castle". After five or six days leave at home (Southend-On-Sea), we figured on another h.t.. ..........................


Later in my career as a chief executive, I often traveled with female executives or female staff members. We would always stay in separate hotels, not only for her piece of mind, but for me maintaining a reputation, as did "Caesar's wife"... one of purity. I never forgot the pressures used by people with power over me. And I was damned if I would conduct my life like them.


Cheers, Rodney

Great story, thoroughly enjoyed it!

Thank you Rodney for a most interesting description of that voyage.
I have not been to sea and found your story to be really interesting.
