Hello

Hello friends of the sea,
I may be new here, but I'm an old hand at sea. I started my career in 1960 after an apprenticeship as a metalworker and as an engine fitter at Howaldtswerke in Hamburg at the Schulte and Bruns shipping company as an assistant engineer and attended the School of Naval Engineering in Cuxhaven from 1966 to 69.
My active time ended after 30 years of sailing.
My interests lie in the exchange with all former sailors of all colours. Especially the photos from this time. I am also interested in the old windjammers from the former times. Especially the fates of the simple crew members that are never mentioned. Captains are always gloriously mentioned and were probably alone on board.
I am looking forward to a good and fruitful cooperation.
Jan
