I'm a little confused here. Maybe things has really changed. I do not
understand "James's" statement on a distant relative of Old Man A.P.? I knew
him vaguely, only by talking to him while polishing his sailboat in Skovshoved
lystbede havn in the sixties. His relative Mfrsk McKinney Mxller (still alive)
was my boss at DISA. At the time I went to sea he had hundreds of ships. Most
of them in trunk traffic, Also known as snow sailing!, but a lot of tankers. I
selected Ove Skou shipping Co. , later absorbed by a Norwegian company, I
think! We sailed contract cargo, which means you load up and go to a harbor
and get new stuff after unloading for that place and then continuing on. At
one time Mfrsk had the biggest Diesel engine installed in a ship. A B&W 9
cylinder 49000 HP on one shaft! I had the priviledge to watch the building of
that marvel.
I have just asked an old shipmate who is a first mate on a Danish flagged
vessel and he states that there better be 2 people on the bridge at all times.
A mate (or captain) and a deckhand, who usually performs the radar watch and
the helm duties.
Hans
