A guy in the pub the other day was telling me about the extreme safety measures applied on off-shore platforms and it got me thinking about some of the measures that didn't apply at sea in our day. I recall swinging stages to paint the side of the ship( "Millais" Lamport & Holt) that was going to be alongside when we reached B.A. We weren't required to wear safety lines and we were steaming at twelve knots along the Brazilian coast. Most of us were only wearing shorts and flip flops and carrying roaring Santos hangovers but I don't recall losing anyone.
