Well how about that, I lived in Tilbury in 1965 and now live in Port Elizabeth.

I sailed and worked on the Mai Bente as a “deck boy” (dekkskutt sp?) In April/May 1965 – one voyage from Port Elizabeth, South Africa to several ports in Japan. The ship spent a week or more in dry dock in Innoshima. I was only 18 years old, but remember the experience well.
