During his sixth voyage as an apprentice on Chantala, Martin Southwood and several of his fellow apprentices took part in a prank, which involved the unauthorised removal of a Russian flag! His amusing account of this incident, which he recorded in his journal at the time, is available for download as a pdf here. Some of you may have never heard of Lindi or Mtwara – let alone sailed a ship’s whaler from the one to the other! Martin Southwood did, whilst he was an apprentice on Chantala, and his account of that trip is available for download as a pdf here. John Lott was an apprentice on Chantala’s maiden voyage. His reminiscences of those early days as a Chantala cadet are available for download as a pdf here. Here is another interesting account from Martin Southwood. This time it concerns a whaler race between apprentices from the Chantala and The New Zealand Shipping Company’s cadet ship Rakaia. The race took place in Port Pirie, South Australia, and Martin’s account is available for download as a pdf here. Hugh Ferguson and Clifford Cadman were on the bridge of the Chantala when she was involved in a collision with the collier Hudson Light in the Thames Estuary in 1969. Their most interesting article about this event is available for download as a pdf here. Any anecdotes that you may have of Chantala would be most gratefully received.
