Above & Below: A key from the Tjiluwah
owned, and sent to the author by Matt Bockol
from Minnesota,
USA.
This key
would have been from the crew area or a store as the inscription below has the
ships name
in
an Indonesian pronunciation rather than it is on the hull – “Tjiloewah”

The crossing
of the Equator Certificate above was sent to me by John Allen who sailed from Brisbane to Japan in December 1963
and he obviously
had a wonderful time. PS: They do not print certificates like that on cruises
ships these days anymore!

PLEASE NOTE: I
receive hundreds of requests for Passenger/Crew Lists and Sailing Schedules.
I hereby wish to advise that I am unable to assist due to time restrains
and as most shipping companies have long gone these lists/schedules are no
longer available. I regret to advise that any request for these will no
longer be answered regardless of the circumstances presented!

Photographs on ssmaritime and associate
pages are: 1. By
the author. 2. From the author’s private
collection. 3. As
provided by Shipping Companies and private photographers or collectors. Credit
is given to all contributors. However, there are photographs provided to me
without details provided regarding the photographer concerned. I hereby invite
if owners of these images would be so kind to make them-selves known to me,
that due credit may be given. I know what it is like, I have seen a multitude
of my own photographs on other sites, yet they either refuse
to give me credit and even refuse to remove them, knowing full well that
there is no legal comeback when it comes to the net. However, let us show the
charlatans up and do the right thing at all times and give credit where credit
is due! Note: I do
not credit those who send me photos as they are not the owners of the
photographs concerned, unless the image is part of their private collection.
This
notice covers all pages, although, I have done my best to ensure that all
photographs are duly credited and that this notice is displaced on each page,
that is, when a page is updated!
