Hms Worcester
A Memory of Greenhithe.
I was at HMS Worcester in 1949/50 training for the catering dept in the Merchant Navy. I also remember pulling oars on the barge and jolly boat picking up stores etc..and across that short run to the boat the tide was very strong there at times, you really had to work at it. I also remember rowing over to the Cutty Sark twice a day to put up and take down the ships riding lights (I think this was when the cadets were on leave). I remember the Everards Shipping Company and the red sails on the barges going up and down from Greenhithe .When I passed out my first ship out of the Victoria Docks in 1951 was RMS Rangitoto, New Zealand Shipping Line .
