Life on Board a Mega Ship in 1981. Sir Alexander Glen was a Ore-Bulk-Oil Carrier 169,044 dwt
and I joined in Antwerp in May 1981 and flew home from Japan the following August.
She was sister ship to the ill-fated Derbyshire which sank south of Japan in 1980 during a Typhoon.
We were on the same route with the same Iron Ore Cargo and also heading into a Typhoon.
Highlights of the film are Drydock and leaving Antwerp, BBQ, Crossing the Line Ceremony,
Cape Town, Relaxing on Board, Typhoon Thad and arriving in Kashima.
