I was on the Macedon too(twice)as a deckboy with all those old farts at the time! Used to go to Port Adelaide, the old ship your talking about aren't you? Used to go to CSR wharf!

Was you on the same ship with your father? I was on the Macedon as an OS with my father, for two years.

My Dad was Bosun on the Escort from the time she was the James Cook, he picked her up from Kobe. I did a few trips my self as an O.S. to Japan. I think the Australian Emblem was the sister ship. Dad would have loved this site if he was still alive. I remember our cabins were way ahead of most Merchant ships at the time, and I also remember lugging around chains for lashing the 1400 or so containers with a shocking hangover lol.

Beautiful picture of one of my most favourite ships that I served on, in 1983, during the last few "hey days" of the original ANL. Thank you.

Nice pic & vessel.
