Permission to come aboard men.
Apologies folks. I seem to have (screwed) up a little, as I never carried out the full drill of saying Hello, when I first dropped anchor here.
My listing is George Edwards. Ex Cunard and NZ shipping coy.
As I have already had a trip round the site, I can only say, that I am very pleased to be part of the crew.
I only arrived here quite accidentally when searching for the origination of a ships bell, but what a great accident it was.
Once I get to going through a few more decks, and cabins, I am pretty sure I may come upon an old shipmate or two.
Great to meet you all. At age 79, I might have a bit of a problem. Ha Ha Ha!
Glad to be aboard.
Thanks, George Edwards

Welcome George to this great site. Do you still have a list of the ships you were on and maybe some dates. It may help if you post them on site for some to remember you. So while you wait to hear just sit back with a cold one and enjoy the voyage.
Happy daze John in Oz.

Hi George.
Your the same age as me George, so no problems there, the only reason not many older on site is the lack of computer training. How about a list of your ships and dates so that we can see if anyone sailed on them around the same time. Did you by any chance go to the Vindicatrix? which would have put you there around the same time as myself?
Anyway settle in and join in the tall stories and banter.
Cheers Des
