I use third engineer as a brand because from March 1969 till march 1985 I was a marine engineer in the merchant Navy and sailed for a number of years as third engineer which was my rank which I enjoyed very much.During that time I visited 70 or more countries from North/Central and South America,Middle East, Far East India Pacific Islands Briefly Australia, Medi, Europe and Africa including seeing steam in South Africa.

@@tonyjones99 remember it well I was on the Shaftesbury on a Liverpool River Plate run when we got the news. I knew a few of the crew on the Royston Grange having done relief work on board in London a couple of times for around 2 to 3 weeks whilst the regular crew went home but no one ever wanted to leave the ship as it was a good run and steady number with a round trip of around 3 months with a short visit ti Rotterdam en route.

Remember well a ships visit from Gravesend sea school to view the Harwick Grange. To my eyes a beautiful ship and everything that going away to sea encapsulated in 1976. Who knew that by 83 it was all but over for the once great British Merchant Navy. Ships, shipyards & crews.

@thirdengineer
@thirdengineer Месяц назад
Not quite Stephen .There is a public footpath that goes underneath the railway which is on a bridge. I set two camcorders up on the offside from outside the bridge railing. I then set one tripod on the nearside and a forth camcorder on a goliath type gripper on the bridge railing. I did not cross the track and stayed outside the fence and left 4 cameras running and only manhandled one zoom from the outside of the bridge.Hope this answers your question. Brian
