Join us as Rob takes us back to his days working aboard the iconic SS Canberra in the 1980s and 1990s. From grueling engine room shifts during shipyard refits to unexpected adventures on the German Autobahn, Rob shares the highs, the lows, and the hilarious moments in between. Hear about darts matches with the locals in Bremerhaven, a culinary encounter with Goanese curry, and the art of surviving long shifts with good humor (and maybe the occasional company-funded meal). It’s a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at life below deck on one of Britain’s most beloved liners. Don’t miss this dive into maritime memories!
