 This photo was sent to the LOG by pensioner Joseph Bertie Fruge of Sulphur, La. It was taken in December 1962 at the docks in Texas City, Texas.
Fruge, who sailed in the deck department, is chatting with the chief mate. Both were working on the Cities Service Miami, seen in the background.
Now 69, Fruge states: "Those were the good old days! I’m proud to say I am a member of the Seafarers International Union. It has been good to me all these years. I’m retired now, but I remember lots of good times at sea, and the men I worked with, good men!"
