Captain of the Cygnus

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

Looking for John A. Curran

Friday, July 4th, 2008
Dear Ladies and gentlemen,
Having sailed on call as a deckhand as well as Porter/cook for 30 years
I wanted to get a reunion for the crew. We can't locate John A. Curran.
He was our Third Mate. The ship was the SS Silver Bay. The year we
sailed was 1973. I made contact with the Wilson shipping company but
they had no leads. We tried many mates and pilots sites but they lead us
to dead ends.I contacted Toledo for their officers listing but they couldn't find
John. Could you offer any suggestions? We would like to know if he's
still around. It's not often that you have a good officer and crew that
work together as a unit.
Have a great day!
Jim Nemecky
