 The
Shipyard Apprentice by William Scott. The book is the first in a
series by Willie and tells of his early working life in the Harland and
Wolff Shipyard as an Apprentice Marine Fitter before going to sea as a
Junior Engineer. The book is written in a refreshingly easy to read
style and evokes memories of the days when most of the learning was done
"on the job" with a clip round the ear when you got it wrong. With the
tales of acquiring new skills, Willie takes us through growing up, from
a football mad bugler in the Boys Brigade with a passion for Motorbikes
and a love of fishing and shooting, to a confident young man with a
Thunderbird Twin who likes a beer and a fag, and finally realises his
dream of a Board of Trade grading and a job with Trident Tankers. I
enjoyed this book for its non pretentious method of telling a story. The
book can be ordered
directly from Willie. Just click on the link or on the cover

The aims of this Web Site are:
-
To provide and share information on the
construction, running and maintenance of both slow speed 2 stroke marine
diesel engines and medium speed 4 stroke marine diesel engines as found on
the majority of ocean going merchant vessels.
-
To aid cadet engineer officers in their
understanding of these large powerful engines.
-
To help students studying towards MCA certificates
of competency by giving hints on how to answer examination questions.
-
To provide links to manufacturers, regulatory
bodies, and other sites of interest.
Help me make this site better still.......email me and let me have details of
problems you have experienced and how you solved them,....photographs of
engines, maintenance work etc....any constructive comments you may have......Thankyou
