Welcome on board Laurie, it's great to see you made the jump. The path to the bar is well trodden now, just follow the worn deck paint!

What kept you?
You will also, no doubt, be delighted to know that there is at least one 'joke' thread - where you can test the endurance of the Groan-o-meter. http://www.shippinghistory.com/showthread.php?t=53

Do you know Peter Ridyard, a Lloyds Engineer Surveyor from Southampton ? He made headlines when his son was lost in the sinking of Bibby Line's M. V. " Derbyshire.
