As a child,I remember my late father serving aboard the Esso Exeter on voyages to Aruba and the Persian Gulf, as it was know in the early 1960's.

The producers of this documentary obviously didn't have the first clue as to what they were on about. To blame England supporters for historically exporting football violence abroad is laughable at best. There have been incidents of violence amongst football fans in other countries - especially Southern America far worst than what you will ever see within Britain. At least in the 80s TV companies genuinely tried to understand the reasons for it.

Thanks for the well presented post,I sailed on Shaw Savills Wairangi and Port Lines Port Hobart shown in this film I'm a land locked Rhodesian now Zimbabwe and went to the Prince of Wales Sea School in DoverIn 1960

Very interesting ! Thank you.

My great-grandfather served on tankers between 1919-1924. He worked on ESSO's SS Suwanee, BTC's British Earl & British Sovereign, and Eagle Oil Co's Santa Aurora & San Gregorio. He passed away long before I was born, but I would have loved to hear his stories of his voyages to Texas and the Gulf of Mexico, exotic for a young Englishman at that time!

I was one of them "Young Men" In the MN from 1968 to 2010. Great times.........

Geoff was a very convincing gardener , there is no other like him !!! Miss him immensely.

You had to be particularly thick to fail to fail any exam at the National Sea Training College at Gravesend.. I know!.. X Class June 77 to October 77 .. From memory..

I was on the sister ship to the British Explorer.. The British Navigator..

Not the Haparangi. Try the Hororata, flush deck 6 hatches!

"Teesside" not Teeside

Did Birmingham to Tywyn in 1961…..unforgettable!

Why’s marge Simpson pretending to be a hooli

AW when watching him does not seem to have if any technical outdoor gear with him except boots and a Cagoule, What a load of softies we are.

Went from Birmingham to Tywyn in 1961 and from there to Aberystwyth and Porthmadog on following days, wonderful memories, all stations manned in those days. Also that holiday rode the TR, FR and the V of R. Unforgettable holiday when I was 20 years old.😊

Miss Geoff very much. He was therapy after a week of work. Lovely man.

I LOVE this workout and it brings back so many memories! It was my absolute favorite, and I’ve been looking for it for quite a while. I’m doing it now and swear I know every move! 😂🙏 It is just so awesome at combining really great arm work with such a variety of controlled moves and stretches. She’s so great at moving the whole body, just one of my all-time favorites.

Nobody wears his uniform anymore…

My first tanker was the mv Bedford of the Blandford shipping co the skipper was a complete idiot best skipper i ever new the next i was on was the shell boat Hemmimactra the first mate had us painting the decks in snow in Sweden and painting the centre castle in a sand storm in the red sea how daft can you get.

Kathy has been my workout bestie since 1987/1988! Wowwww. What a long time. Love her.

Was expecting to see Jack Hargreaves from "Old Country" at 51:05. I remember the "H" class Shell Tankers in Australia in the late 1960's when I was a lad, HEMIGLYPTA was one I remember and SOLEN, then came CELLANA in 1968, a products tanker built in Australia for Shell. Others were ESSO GIPPSLAND, MOBIL AUSTRALIS, BP ENTERPRISE, AMANDA MILLER, R. W. MILLER, NANCY HEATH, EXPRESS and JOHN HUNTER, all Australian owned and crewed, all gone now. All fuel products in Australia imported from Malaysia and Singapore now, no Australian flagged tankers either, utter disgrace.

The good old days, carefree, hard work, respect and a pride in ones self and ship. Sadly all gone now, foreign crewed ships and containers. Dunedin was my favourite port in New Zealand. Very enjoyable one hour that was, thank you, much appreciated.

Great video, really enjoyed it. As a boy I built an Airfix kit of the "M/V Benledi" in the early 1970's. Going to look back and see if you have done a series on the Blue Star Line, Bank Line and BP tankers.

Lester's ride on Royal Academy was the mark of pure genius. Lester is the GOAT.

Policing of the Century.

Go Officers Go.

Never went to sea.but really the videos keep them coming

Luckily the speycast has evolved a LOT since this was filmed....

Does anyone have the timestamps for the beginner sections of each of the sections? So when im done with beginner aerobics I can go to beginner sculpting, etc?

I was an engineer with Shell Tankers. I have to say, some of this gave me a good laugh.

great memories sailed with many british ships clan ljne ropners sugarline harrison london harrisons liverpool jebsens ect many happy days

I had this on video recording when it first came out. I played it over and over again. How I miss Geoff.

Totty the cat

I have a major spinal problem and find it difficult to walk more than a few steps before the pain totally stops me, I started to complete all the AW fells back in the late 90s, I started with the tallest first, and managed 74 of them, but now I am so annoyed at not being able to be up there on the tops, it really hurts me, and now I am nearly 70 I don't think it will happen, I feel just like AW. So having all the pictorial Guides, I suppose I will read them and try to imagine being there, and I am sure that is what AW would have wanted.

i was talking to a m8 about west auckland and i remembered this film and arthur daleys pub

thanks so much for uploading. wonderful programme

Superb!

As a New Zealand HF coast radio station operator from late 1964 onwards, I remember Otaio and Haparangi, also Brasil Star. Otaio and sister Piako were both were cadet training ships.

Brilliant,reliance on acquired knowledge through practice not on what can be bought.

Thank you so much for the memories, I sailed with the Ben line from 64 to 68. Great times.

Brilliantly done

Have you got the proper copy of the icf documentary from years ago can't find it eny where on UA-cam and been looking for years.??

Have you got Euro Cops 96? I think it was on the BBC? Saw it once but never again and never saw it on UA-cam but had good footage from the England Scotland game especially.

I worked on Esso Tankers from 1978 to 1985 I remember being alongside a birth ( Hamburg) with the British Tay. Very fond memories.

Man, I have been in love with ships and maritime history in general for the last 34 years of my life, and I have had MANY jobs in my lifetime, but I have always wanted to serve on a big beautiful ship. Reading the stories of those who have served is really good to read. Thank you for posting this video for the world to see what life was like onboard these merchant vessels!

Thank you for putting these online! Not only useful, but a bit of nostalgia from the days when the Atlantic salmon were more plentiful.

I miss Mr W

Greta Thunberg watches this everyday at breakfast.

Who is the "secret" hooligan? Going by his hair, it's Charles II😂
