Crew List Transcript
Introduction
This page lists all of the jobs carried out by the crew of the “Green Goddess” on her 64th transatlantic crossing from Southampton. This crossing was ahead of 2 West Indies Sunshine Cruises departing from New York on 06 & 21 September 1957. The ship returned light to Southampton on 14 October 1957.
Many crew members were retained as stand-by crew during Caronia's overhaul in Southampton, with most not getting paid-off until 23 December 1957.
Although this list is shown as a manifest, it is not intended that it give full details of each rating, like Age, Nationality, Service at Sea etc. The list is ordered according to Articles Number with series letter prefix.

Accuracy
This list's original entries, from a different source than hitherto, are entirely hand-written so the incidence of errors occuring is much higher. Heavy reliance upon previous entries was required to convert initials into proper names.
If any of the ratings are incorrectly described below, do please advise me of these.

Further investigation shows that the above may have signed-off on 03 August 1957 and the log wasn't kept up to date. I have images of Ave Quin's Discharge Book and he signed-off on 03 August and rejoined on 23 August 1957. His “N” list entry is annotated as cancelled.
