I'm curious what year this photo was taken. My mother and 15 year old brother worked their way to Sydney from Halifax Nova Scotia, Canada on the Columbus New Zealand in 1984. I did the same a year later. It was a wonderful experience. Long days of hard work but we saw some great port cities along the way plus a big storm where we nearly lost a few containers.
If anyone has any other stories about this ship, I'd love to hear them.
cheers!
