| Patalavaca, i have been on the stage over the bow on Donegal!!!.Did an East Africa trip on her. Great ship to work on, great crew that trip.Looks like Port Phillip Bay in picture.As you say about pictures i only had a little Kodak camera which had that plastic cartridge and probably didnt take as many pics as i could of as was so dear to get films processed back in early 70's. Took a few but wish had of taken more. Also can anyone tell me what might have been carried in the tanks shown in photo either side number 4 hatch. Carried them on her sister Antrim when we did Oz coast trip.I know they stayed on deck for the whole trip out and back. |

Note the stage over the bow... been there, done that. Not on this ship though!
Another fabulous image to ponder and reminisce over. Thank you Chris. David, if only that were so. The times I went ashore through the Eastern & Western Singapore anchorages with only an average camera, cheap film & no photographic skills. Making every shot count was simply down to the cost of the film & processing. Missed opportunities by the thousands, too! Regards, Rick |

| That's for sure Chris, with the camera I have today I could have taken thousands of digital photos while at sea, at no additional cost whatsoever, in the hope that some would have been especially worth keeping. Back then colour slide film was expensive and one had to try and make every shot count, something that as you say was often limited by the camera itself. I sometimes look at old photos and think that a modern DSLR would have taken a pixel perfect clinical rendition of the subject and lost the soul that we see in the oldies now, whatever their photographic deficits. |

| Glad everyone is enjoying them, note they are not perfectly sharp, this is not the scanning but the limitations of the cameras of the time, sadly no digital then. |
