And finally m.v.Queensbury from 1954 to March 16th 1956. Would love to hear from anyone who knew Ken. He 'Crossed the Bar' in Sept. 2005 after a long illness, and is now sailing a new ship. God Bless all his shipmates who may be with him. I have pictures of his Navy days we often looked at them together as I met him 10 days after he left the Queensbury and had 49 happy years together. Good Luck and prosperity to you all. Cheers.
