Liberian Ticket !
Rooting about in the attic yesterday (the Lockdown Blues ?) I found this from my Freelancing Days in the early 70's.
I joined a Denholm's managed ship in Curacao and somehow between leaving home and stepping onboard it went from British to Liberian Flag. I was required to have a Liberian Sparky's ticket for this, which cost as I remember $20 but Denholm's kindly offered to pay for it (cheeky bastards, they'd have been flying me back if they hadn't.)
It eventually arrived onboard much to the delight of the Old Man who had a collection of toilet paper in his safe. I've kept it all these years for reasons unknown.
