Hi Pat, Yes I had heard that nickname (Binman) before, not sure how he came by that name, Tommy Hogan left after my first deep sea voyage on the Rhexenor to be replaced by Joe O'Neil, in my mind one or peerhaps the best bosun that I had the pleasure to sail with, his Brother George was bosun on one of the Victory Ships at the time. Bill Sumners' Brother Bert, was bosun on the Automedon but left under a cloud, for what reason I do not know. I can remember the pair meeting up in Sydney when his brother (Bert) was bosun of the Flowergate and lying alongside at Millers Point, they had a hell of a session, I will say no more. Bruce.
