The images are a bit large .. go and make a cup of coffee - and by the time you return to this magic box, the cartoons should have loaded.
October 2001 -
All those who have been to sea will recognise this scenario!
With due apologies to all kinds of chiefs at sea - the webmaster included!
The cartoons on these pages were drawn by Dave Clarke, Second Engineer Townsend-Thoresen, whilst on board Free Enterprise II, Viking Venturer, Viking Valiant etc. in the mid-70s and early 80s. As I recall Dave left and went to work on the North Sea supply vessels. The following are a tribute to all sea going staff who are often expected to work miracles, do the impossible under extreme conditions and pamper to the demands of those ashore who don’t, in most cases, know their ass from their elbow.
Quo Vadis ... where do you want to go??!!
