Wow, so many people from Home Lines. I was a deck steward on the M/V Atlantic only during the summers of 1982 thru 1985. I was still in High School and then college and was the only American member of the crew that I am aware of. It was really an incredible experience. I still have 2 original deck chairs with cushions as well as 2 original life preservers, one from the Oceanic and one from the Atlantic. This was a very memorable time in my life!

Hi Fabrizio,

 

This is unbelievable...was reading an Italian newspaper online a minute ago and someone called Azzolini was mentioned. I then had the idea of googling to find out what that young, polite, and decently educated italo-american fellow I met back in 1985 was up to...

And here came this thread...

Do you remember me? Twenty year old (back then) Massimo of Genoa, from MV Atlantic, working in the printing shop... I only stayed for a six months contract.

Do you remember maybe Stefano Squarcina of Padua, Piero Dettori of Genoa, Pasquale Pisani of Mola also from the printing shop?

I do remember Furfaro the crew purser, thin guy, dark hair from Calabria I think. A nice guy. He should remember me if you don't...

I always remember that you helped me understand the lyrics of Cat Stevens 'Father and Son'. I was learning my English at the time and there was a bit we couldn't understand. It was when it goes 'you're so young, that's your fault'... it took you a while and then you had a Eureka moment which I never forgot!

 

Get in touch if you read this!
