I free lanced in 1974 and specified British ships only to the REOU (I think their freelance office was in Hull.) So I got a job to join the Naess Endeavour in Curacao. Off I went and the taxi driver dropped me off at the ship, which had now become the Burmah Cameo under the Liberian Flag.
Same ship, same management (Denholm if I remember right.) Well I joined anyway and did an 8 monther. In Capetown some engineers joined and they were still being told it was the Naess Endeavour under British flag. One refused to join and they had to fly him back. After that they started telling the truth.
All in all it wasn't a bad trip but I had to get the Union to chase up ITT (who I was freelanced to) in order to get them to pay my final monies. So it could be a dodgy business going freelance.
