Did a trip on the MV Weybank in 1970/71. First trip deep sea as a sparks. Only a short trip, 13 months, as we hit Liverpool so Bank Line decided to change the crowd early (was supposed to be 15 months.) I think that was the last general cargo ship I ever sailed on, after that all tankers, ore carriers and a brief box boat jaunt across the North Atlantic for three weeks.
Plodded across the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans in that time. Never really got the same kinds of runs ashore afterwards so I sort of look back on it fondly. But time and memory does that I've noticed.
