I was relief RO (Radio Officer) in the 1990's on this ship.....only fully wireless telegraphy (WT i.e. morse code) I got to work on! I was in a small cohort of graduates from the Australian Maritime College, Launceston Tasmania (Associate Diploma of Marine Radiocommunication)....sadly this ship is now razor blades and I'm a high school teacher as RO's (sparks) has been also assigned to the junk heap :(

hi mate did you work with peter holroyd?
