Eddie Hume

I have been browsing through this forum,unfortunately the memory is not quite what it was. I joined RSL in 1968 as a junior engr. signing on Welsh City at UCSY for its maiden voyage, what an introduction to marine life. I enjoyed it so much I signed up for a 2nd trip witha certain Mr Poingdestre(sp) as my chief engr.

I remained with RSL until 1973 sailing on Vancouver city, Wilkawa,Devon city and Indian city. I am sorry to say that I have very few photographs of that period.
