Danny Lloyd (Deceased)

Danny was the Boilermaker on various P&O ships. The above photo was cut from an Iberia group photo here.

This is Danny Lloyd during his time as Boilermaker on Canberra.

Geoff recalls;

"I was very saddened to hear that Danny has been added to the Seadogs Departed section. I knew I had a photo somewhere that would suit his memory. He was a real Gent of the old school; here he is in a rare pose as none of us will remember him, but in a pose I'm sure he would like to have taken more frequently. I think “assisting” him are Sandy Elson and Hilke Hasenkamp - Chilly Ho’s".

 

There's another photo of Danny here

 

Sadly, Danny has been added to the Seadogs Departed section here.

Daphne Goldsmith (now Titus-Rees)

Daphne was a WAP on the Orcades in 1969/70 serving with our old mates Steve Burgoine and Mike Gold. There's a picture of them all together at a later time in Steve's section here. But more amazing is some really great photos of those early days including a very young Burgoine posted in the Orcades Groups section.

 

During Daphne's sea career she met a passenger, Peter - at Captains Cocktail Party no less! - and on the 2nd December they celebrate 35 years of blissfully happy marriage!

 

 

They now run a fantastic bed & breakfast retreat called the Daintree Valley Haven - Tranquil, Secluded Tropical Retreat In The Heart Of The Daintree Valley. A special haven for nature-lovers, couples on honeymoon, a romantic getaway or just to relax and unwind.

 

 

Three self-contained, air-conditioned B&B rainforest bungalows on a lovely secluded 30-acre property near Daintree National Park. Daintree Valley Haven is the perfect hideaway for couples, birdwatchers honeymooners, stressed-out executives or to simply escape and relax for a while during a busy holiday schedule. Situated in a peaceful valley but not far from Daintree Village, Cape Tribulation, Mossman Gorge, Port Douglas and the Great Barrier Reef, Cairns, Atherton Tablelands and Cairns Highlands.

Daphne's email address is available in the interactive area.

Dave Betts

Dave writes;

"I have been reliving some very fond memories of the original Oriana after being introduced to this great site by Eric Campbell who phoned me out of the blue and left a message on my voicemail. I have since spoken to Eric on the phone and also been in touch with Greg Sinclair and Steve Wedd after so many years!." 

 

"I joined Oriana as Junior Engineer in February 1967 and was aboard her until the summer of 1971 when I did a single cruise on Orcades before going up for my 2nds ticket. I did a single trip on Pando Strait in 1972 (Great runs to and around the far east!) before leaving P & O." 

 

"I think my Oriana history predates most of the correspondents. Who remembers the incident in the Panama Canal in 1969 when we hit the bank with the stbd propeller and pulled the shaft several feet aft. Good time in Panama filling the aft end of the shaft alley with concrete before heading off across the Atlantic on a single screw. Made pretty good progress too! Eventful stay in Dry Dock in Southampton where a number of the original shipyard staff from Vickers attended to assist Thornycrofts with the repairs. I always remember a very wizened machinist engaged in reboring the shaft coupling bolt holes in situate where they had been damaged when the taper bolts were ripped out. Work of art and no mistake. I have some photos and will send these in. These were the days of Toni Mazonowicz as Chief and Jim Dobie as 2nd. Wonderful Charlie Newby as 1st."

Here’s Dave more recently taken on holiday on the south coast of NSW.

 

This is Dave with his lovely wife Lucille whom he met onboard Oriana during the 1977 homeward bound trip. Dave thinks Jewksie might remember Lucille from that trip. They’ve been married for 28 years now.

 

and above is the stunning offspring of that union. Nicola is 20. 

 

Oh to be 20 again :)

 

There's more of Dave starting here.

David Griffin (aka Dai)

This is David ‘Dai’ Griffin taken in Bali, I’m not sure of the date nor the ship but it all looks so familiar.

 

Here’s Dai in his cabin Christmas 1974, pointing to Doug Cruickshank’s new 4th braid.

 

Dai recalls;

‘For those of you who sailed on Oronsay, remember our trip back to Sydney in a cyclone when the Sydney pilot wouldn't come out to pick us up and the captain (Scott Mason RNR, I think) came on the PA system and virtually told the passengers that the pilot didn't have the balls to bring us in but this was a British ship and with or without the pilot we were going in! I was out on the STBD aft deck, (must have been at stern stations arrival) and as we came into the cliffs at Port Jackson we turned 90 degrees to port and a wave hit us broadside and we lurched over, before we were upright another wave hit us and we went much further over! but a bit of full ahead both got us out of it, and behind the cliffs. I think this was the cruise when we sailed out into cyclone Zoë and returned in cyclone Allis.’

Here’s Dai with his workmate Svetlana doing what I love best … relaxing with an ‘Amberfluid’, God’s gift to Man.

 

Dai’s contributed some great photos that I’ve put in the new Oronsay Groups and Orsova sections. Thanks Dai. Great effort

 

And now there’s a new section called ‘Dai’s Memories

 

There’s also more photos of Dai here,

 

Dai’s email address is available in the interactive area.

Dave George

That’s Dave on the far left, Harry Adamson (aka Dirty Harry) is in the middle with me on the right. We were on our way to board the Frigate 16 behind us and ask if we could have a look around the Engine Room. A request that was granted I’m pleased to say with the proviso that they were on a 5 minute standby which meant if they got the order to move they had to be away from the quay and at full speed doing 45 knots within 5 minutes. Fortunately that didn’t happen and we were piped aboard and given the full officer treatment. It was a great decision to go.

 

Here’s Dave in the shit with Taffy Williams.

 

And this is Dave in 2003 with his wife while on a holiday cruise.

 

There’s more photos of Dave here, here, here

 

Dave’s email address is available in the interactive area.
