Hi there

Can anyone tell me what Union Castle ships (Southampton) a certain Mr George S Cochrane captained? He retired c1967 so anything around that time and before would be very useful!

Many regards

There is a list of Union Castle employees here

http://www.unioncastlestaffregister.co.uk/X%20SHIPMATES_ABC.html

but just says he was a Master.

Yes i have seen that site and been in touch with the chap but he knows nothing of him! I was hoping it would be easy to find him as he was a captain but it appears not!

Thanks bear

It might be worth leaving a message on the Ships Nostalgia Forum. If you scroll down you'll see a forum dedicated to the Union Castle Line - you never know, someone might remember your Capt Cochrane.

There is a guide as to what documentation is available for master mariner's on the Greenwich Maritime Museum site:
