HI there,
I am looking for some help with the Blue Funnel Ship Dolius, if anyone might oblige or perhaps point me in the right direction please? My Dad (Ian Jones) was an Engineer cadet on his second voyage but Dolius first (H&W to Liverpool) and then on her maiden deep sea voyage Jan of 1956 to April of 1956 and I can find nothing on ports or cargo on the trip, I'd love to have some help or advice if anyone could chip in?
Thank You & Best Regards

Ian,
I have been meaning to call my Dad, now a good excuse! Dolius was his favourite ship. He was meant to be married on his birthday, 14/03/58 but she was delayed and the marriage put back till 21/03.
She was a typical Far East Bluey, UK/Euro ports, Suez, Aden for bunkers, Ceylon, Swettenham/Penang etc., Singapore, Djakarta et al, Japan.
Best Rgds.
Dave
