Zillertal, Hamburg
 |
| The Zillertal beerhouse in Hamburg was a very popular place for ship's officers and their wives. |

| In 1958/59 many Reardon Smith ships drydocked just across the river and access could be made by a ferry boat or via the tunnel. The King City, Queen City, and the New Westminster City drydocked there and were the first ships converted from diesel to heavy oil. I was third engineer but had experience of heavy oil burning and Alpha Laval purifiers when serving my apprenticeship in the power station in Jersey and I stood by all three ships whilst they were in Hamburg. I then sailed on the New Westminster City. Eric Poingdestre. Both photos coyright © Dick Gibbons. |
