The Bank Shipping Line, employees

John Huw Owens comment: I served my time as a Deck Apprentice from 1955 to 1959 on the Rowanbank, and twice on the Westbank. The training and experience gained was excellent, but unfortunately the length of the voyages meant that I changed to Furness Withy for the remainder of my Seagoing days in 1972.

I don’t know how I have received this email, but I’m always interested to learn anything about the Bank line, with whom I was able to see the world at a tender age, when one could have a good night out anywhere with a British £1 note.
