'This is a very personal view of what it was like to serve on the S. S. Earl Thorfinn as a cabin boy, from the years 1958 until 1961. It is by no means an accurate account but as my memory serves me. The purpose, well, just to put a smile on your face and perhaps awaken some of your memories.' Billy Cardno, Kirkwall, 2020.
