m.v.'Seniority'

 

I joined the 'Seniority' in June 1959 as 2nd. Mate

A painting of the m.v."Seniority" passing the "East Goodwin" lightship, in the River Thames estuary. This was one of a series of paintings commissioned by F. T. Everard and appeared in their adverts on the back covers of the magazine "Sea Breezes" for many years.

 

The m.v. "Seniority" was a 3 hatch dry cargo ship, trading mostly between the River Thames and Plymouth in Devon, carrying cargos of  bagged cement. I was on this ship when our first son, Duncan Kenneth was born, in July 1959. My younger brother Derek was Cabin Boy on the same ship, at the same time.
