after the stike was over and for quite a long time...
done a three and a half month trip on the old mataroa,sailed out of liverpool on the5-7-56 to aukland and back on the23-10-56,most all scouse crew,agood trip on the old tub.
lots of ex seaman friends of brian from other sites such as the sailors home and ships nostalgia have sent brian get well messages and all wish him well,

what a great looking ship,the sound of the whistle brought the memories back of the mersey when it was full of ships in the 50s and 60s.
