We commissioned the ship at John Lewis's yard in Aberdeen and subsequently sailed round to Tobermory on the West Coast of Scotland to work the ship up under the indomitable and universally feared but loved Commodore Stevenson. The captain was Capitaine de Vaisseau Bergeret. Harry Beazley, a school friend whose brother Peter became a Downside monk. Harry ended up as chairman of P & O shipping lines."
