Items that have recently come into my possession (2006 to 2014):
Top left: Fares and Time Table of 1936, contrasting with - centre, right and above, a 1972 version in colour, and opposite a book about Captain Murdock. Acquired by me during my visit to Melbourne, in May 2006, to research records of the partnership of Macdonald, Hamilton and Company.Managing Agents.
The author of this very interesting and readable book on one of the E and A Captains, sent me a copy early in 20014. Fred McCulloch is a former Engineer with E and A and provides a fascinating insite into the Bridge Team, from the perspective of the Engine Room. I hope to receive further inforamtion from Fred in due course, together with any photographs that he may have, below decks as well as above! Any former E and A Staff members who would like to get in touch with Fred again can contact him via e-mail:
