Please
thank both Tony Clements for his article covering ISL ships and voyage
log. It about sums it up perfectly for all us ISL Apprentices,,
just a great job. Eddie Duffy, well as soon as I saw the photos I
remembered him too as so many faces start to recall from those days. Thank goodness someone was taking photos; the record is the story of all of us. Having been involved heavily in training international crews how true we all did things so well without very much paper and a lot of solid knowledge passed on by officers and crew. Yes bilge cleaning. I was just the size for that and cleaned every bilge in the "Irish Elm" on her maiden voyage and my first trip with ISL. Lovely after just coming from Grey's shipyard!! Oh well I guess it made me a better officer when it became my turn to give the orders! My last ship before retiring I had 600 crew and 35 nationalities so very different days, orders in four languages. Good watch to all hands, thanks again to all sending photos to Aiden. We figure the other Apprentice is Willy Glynn. The Apprentices that trip were Billy Beirne of Wicklow, my self Waterford/Dublin, Jimmy Rickard of Howth (lost at sea as Master, see Howth harbor memorial) and I believe Willy Glynn?? Colm Lawless was promoted to Master and Billy became the Third Mate. Capt. Glanville had been Master and when he left everybody moved up one rank leaving an open Third Mate berth. CAPT. D. Peter Boucher, MN (Ret.) Maritime Affairs Consultant & Marine Sciences Instructor |
