Images from Capt "Jock" Ayland's collection

From Alison Hayes

Hi my grandfather, S.E. "Jock" Ayland, was on many PSNC ships during the 50's and early 60's before he died of cancer.
According to my Nan he served on the Laguna, Loreto, Samanco, Loriga, Salaverry and Orduna.
He was promoted to Captain at the age of 43 and was in command for two years but ill health made him unable to command so he came ashore and was made Cargo Superintendent. Our family have a history of being on the seas!

I've now got in my possession quite a few old photos of him and fellow ship mates on various ships such as the Reina Del Mar and other bits such as a copy of "Atlantic and Pacific Breezes" from Spring 1960.
I wondered if you could give me a direct email address where I could scan and copy these photos etc to somebody to be included on your web page.  I'm sure that they'd be of interest to some...
I do hope one day to perhaps donate part of my collection of memorabilia to the Maritime Museum in Liverpool.  I'll send the bits where they are tracked and signed for and if you wouldn't mind doing the same on their return I would be grateful.
Thanks Alison

Post card of Oroya            Orduna in Port Said

The Oroya is obviously departing Liverpool                     and the Orduna is at anchor in Port Said, Egypt

Samanco aground
Caption with this photograph was " Samanco aground in Belfast Lough 1946".
However, Duncan Haws' Merchant Fleets 8   the history of PSNC - does not mention this event
