Hi Gordon,

I would like those photos too if you get some please as my husband worked on
passenger Cargo ships too ships like the MORIALTA,
MOONTA,MINIMPA around the Gulf of South Australia in about the early 1950's.

When we were at Port Adelaide in December there was a Shop opposite Maritime
Museum that had some of the pictures that they could get in but we were
leaving the next day so did not order any.

I would like to know a bit on your PEARCE Family too please.

Cheers for now and hope that every one has a nice day

Alice in Qld
