Merci pour ces beaux souvenirs,je naviguais en 1960_61.

Oh the memories Ray! Many thanks for putting all your cine films together and giving us old codgers some nostalgia. I went to sea in 1963 and finally retired in 2006. General cargo ships, Bulk carriers, Anchor handling/supply ships, Drill ships, Jackup rigs, Semi submersibles, Lighthouse ships and finally Scottish Fisheries Protection Agency for 6 years. Good luck to you in your retirement.

enjoy your video was 42 years ships cook.

Happy days.

Good video Ray enjoyed it very much,took me back to 1960 when I started as deck boy on Shaw Savill's Gothic

Great Video Ray such a shame all the great ships, shipping companies and seaman have all sadly gone.. the demise of our once great merchant fleet was ❤ breaking.. I’ve been going to sea for 46 years only a few British ships left RFA the biggest employer and they are struggling to crew their ships. 🧑‍🍳🧑‍🍳🫡🫡

That call seafarer life amigo filley kbayan patresio wow

Great to see both parts of your sea travels. I was a Deck Apprentice with Furness Withy started 1963. The last of the good old days. Your pictures brought back many fantastic memories. One of my periods was Master of the AutoStrada so your pictures reminded me of that period. An awful time for awful managers. I will say no more. Took early retirement when I was 50. Made redundant 3 times in my time at sea. But don't regret it and so nice to see all your films, photos and memories. All the best. L.

Another great video Ray. Hope all is well with you . Best regards Tony

Great video Ray. Many thanks.

Thanks for taking the time to post the film Ray. I worked in the shipping business ashore and recognised many of the Palm line ships in your video. I think the last one I ever shipped cargo to West Africa on was the Apapa Palm. My later father was a merchant seaman from Liverpool. According to his discharge book,he did one trip on the Esso Exeter from Fawley to Aruba in April 1962,and like you, tankers weren't for him. He returned to general cargo vessels, mainly with Harrison Line and finished his career with Cunard in 1965.

THX for sharing your wonderful at sea.

I enjoyed you video, thanks for posting

Ces navires n'ont pas une très bonne réputation car souvent très haut sur l'eau en offrant une prise au vent importante , ils " roulent " bord sur bord ...

AH AH SHIP AHOY SEAWARD HO HI MATE DE MOHANMJ EX-MARINER FROM CHENNAI

Went to Trinity House 1969-1973....First ship MV Otaki and bound for Kiwi..

Brings back memories Where was your favourite place in Brazil for bagging off?

I enjoyed your documentary of your life at sea very well explained and very honest.

Thanks for sharing Ray. Brought back many happy memories, apart from running into FOS and getting our arses kicked with the Mistrals, it was a good life for me. Was lucky to see a lot of those real ships still running in 70-80s. Also managed to do a bit of everything, coasting, RFA, UBC, Denholms, Jebsens and CP Ships. The wife enjoyed Norfolk in the 69/70s. Went ashore once too often there and ended up 😂living there going on 37 years. Did 70-84 as an RO/REO and then 33 years as a shore tech in Norfolk. Hope you are getting the treatment you need. Thanks for the memories.

Love this Captain Purdy ❤

Would like to watch, but i live in a place with very poor signal, so I have to download for watching later. But your video is not allowed for free download, needs paid subscription to UA-cam.

That's what an old class mate achieved

Great steel drums serenade, thanks.

Good to watch ,wish I took a video camera to sea with me

Great video. Thank you for your time and for sharing your memories...

Always wanted to go to sea, but instead worked all my life in the Nuclear Industry. Luckily lately project managing shipments of materials to and from Japan, the Netherlands, France and the USA, using the PNTL ships and also managing the decommissioning of four of the older vessels in the Netherlands and Belgium. Loved the old shots of Tokyo, visited there many times. Kind regards Chris Purdy
