Trip 1
All Ships in order that I sailed on
Whilst I was at school, I hadn't a clue of what I wanted to do when I left, I did know that I would like a job which entailed travelling, the chance of promotion and of course a fair wage! After leaving school I worked on a building site for nine months whilst deciding and earned £60 a week. Once I left and joined Harrison's I was on the super wage of £54 a month! How times have changed!!
Unfortunately the company has come to an end as I knew it. In the mean time I have decided to put my trips online along with the pictures I took during those trips! It might bring back a few memories!!
Help needed......
If there are any ex- Harrison Line personnel or their Family out there who have film(Cine) or photos, especially of shipmates, I would love to here from you. Please get in touch. I would create individual collections and have them linked to your name, along with any details you provide, names, ships, dates, route etc.
My email link is the purple envelope at the bottom of this page.

26/09/24 For those of you that use my site to find ship pictures I have adapted a spreadsheet I use for the ships company number.
You might find it useful to know that the last Magician for example was 314 which makes it a little easier to find in the dropdown of the ship category. I have used info from
Captain Graeme Cubbin's book and the project is ongoing, all the gaps will eventually be filled in!

While I was at a reunion dinner(2023) in Liverpool I was asked if this site cost me any money to run, he was quite surprised when I told him a couple of hundred pounds a year!
He also asked if our community new that, to which I said not many if any. I decided to break down how much it actually did cost, the amount is currently £184 per year, this will rise to £257/year from September '24 providing nothing else goes up, hence my decision to put the info out there which also explains the message below. The full breakdown of my costs are on the
