was in the beverley with georgie bisset when we trawled up what we thought was a bomb. everyone scattered out of the gutting area so myself and george went into the “tank” to have a look and see what could be done .What a laugh we had when we threw it on the factory floor and scared the life out of the crew–it was an old milk churn!!!!!
I was 12t and 2nd bridge oficcer on this ship. My captain was Kiyotaka Abe, known “Kiyo”.
I keep many pictures on working in Chiloe Island (Chile) for Pesquera Guafo (Chonchi Town) fihing spanish hake.
Good experiencie for me sailing on southern channels of my country.
I was in B. Blenheim too.
Its very gratefull remembers in my mind.
Thank you
