The first time we used the lifeboat in anger at anchorage off Apapa, Lagos the lifeboat started to sink and they had to use the derricks to raise us up out of the water. Oh the good old days now all long gone.


Coincidentally, I was a Middie with Elder Dempster, my first ship being M.V. Sobo, in 1958. As you  say, days long gone.
