Life Onboard a Mega Ship - Sir Alexander Glen - 1981
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. Refer to description for full details about the Ship and Trip https://youtu.be/umc5qN67_Rg |

Thank you Neville. I have a lot of nostalgic videos still to edit - my own plus one I have bought in auctions including Ebay. |
A fine bunch of men maybe , but an abomination of a ship.
