Unless I am mistaken, the chap on the far right with a fag in his hand is Julian Jackson. Strangley enough, I had him as Mate in the Tacoma in 1974/1975. John Cann. Posted on the forum 17 April 2010
The chap behind Robbie Bell's left shoulder - Is that Bob Day (2/E)from Cwm in the Valleys? Bryan Boyer. Posted on the forum 17 April 2010
Is that John Gardiner with the glasses and the long hair? David Ricketts. Posted on the forum 18 April 2010
I am reliably informed by my daughter that the Bar on the Tacoma was named "The Old Groaner" and sported a large picture of Bing Crosby who came from Tacoma Washington. As they say, "Not many people know that"!! John Cann. Posted on the forum 17 July 2010
The Barman at the back looks to be Julian Smith who I sailed with on the Chiyoda Ex Eastern city.

Not sailed on the Tacoma, but who could not forget the "amazing" Colin Hughes (with pipe -of course)-Bar Stool right. He must have been the most 840 sailed engineer in the fleet. Chris Kisch. Posted on the forum 9 June 2010
I can confirm Chris, as the amazing Colin Hughes is my Dad!, so great to find this photo with a bit of direction from my Uncle Gerald! Rachel Pearce. Posted on the forum 21 July 2011
