It is amazing the amount of shipping companies there was that sailed under the Red Duster before the rapid decline began,I sailed with quite a few of them myself, there is one ship I sailed on and for the life of me I can't recall who owned her, it was a tanker named Cerinthus and I think she had a buff funnel with the letters HSC painted on it, I don't know why this lapse of memory as she was one of the worst ships that I sailed on and everyone was glad to be paid off. stan.

I could never remember see a tanker with bluff funnel before and I have no idea which company it was?

Checking through my Discharge Book, Cerinthus London, OFF. No. 186145, B.H.P. 7500, NRT.7148.75. GRT. 12174.41. that photo does look similar Tom, I signed on on the 16 -11- 1963, in Tilbury and signed off on the 11 - 01 - 1964, also in Tilbury, it was a voyage to Curacoa and back so it must have had something to do with Shell. I don't remember how I came to join her in Tilbury as I was on the Liverpool pool, it must have been a Shanghai job. stan.
