COMMENT THIS PHOTO(2)
"I shipped on the Dumra, deck class, from the port of Karrachi to Basra, Iraq in July 1965. Somewhere in the Arabia Sea the first mate informed us that the temperature was 130 degrees and here was the hottest places in the world on that date. The sea plays no favorites. O Bones"

But how the Mate came to the conclusion that it was the highest in the world on that day, long before the advent of the Internet, is beyond me!
