Jim Wort and I left Welsh City in East London. We got a very raucus send of from the Welsh City as we sailed aboard RMS Windsor Castle to pick up the New Westminster City in Capetown. First class too. NO DBS for us. We sat on the chief engineers table and grinned to ourselves every night at dinner when there was an inquisition shared by the master and chief as to who could possibly be on board and connected with that Tramp Ship!!!!!
Jim Wort moved out to Hong Kong and ran his own business there. John Howell. Posted on forum 20 April 2012.
