From Tony White - CTO

By February 70, we had the situation of one half of the cadet unit undertaking their second trip, and one half their first, so the court of King Neptune was set up by the 2nd trippers, although I'm not sure if they were qualified for such a role.

We were somewhat cramped for space at No 4, the usual position for the swimming pool, by the carriage of six horses in stables, thus Neptune's Court had the addition of straw and lashings.

We had calls at Ascension and St. Helena where there are a couple of other shots of cadets.

Broken Tail Shaft - 1976

From Brian Hardy

Clan Menzies in Colombo dry dock late 1976.

We were on passage to India, light ship, when 400 or 500 miles from Colombo the tail shaft sheared

We drifted for a over a week, waiting for a tug, or another of the company’s vessels to tow us.

It took over a week for tug when connected to bring us into Colombo and dry dock for repairs

Elwyn Williams

Yep no Clan boat tow though it was about 10 - 14 days for the very small tug to arrive

I remember Captain Macintyre's face when he came back up to the bridge after witnessing the stern shaft shearing.

The 2nd of 3 incidents the Clan Menzies had in less than 6 weeks. 1st was the fuel pump drive shaft shearing on departure from Durban 5 days adrift. The 3rd was dragging anchor dead ship in Columbo harbour drifted into the ship astern of us, just minor damage to both ships, eventful trip it certainly was, learnt a lot as 2nd trip and only deck cadet on board.

I remember the diet of carrots and ducks eggs was a bit boring though, cracking time.
