Autorenporträt
He was a young British Master Mariner who started off having a huge knowledge, who after a few years ended up getting the blame for other masters mistakes, in effect, he was the Scapegoat. Which as the years progressed, ended up being the Scapegoat a further 3 times. On his final voyage in This Scottish gas tanker company on a gas tanker in a terrible state, he eventually after docking, walked off the ship taking all of the ships documents with him, all of the crews documentation and his chief officers passport, which was sent to the UK Passport Office with a letter as having been found on a pavement, (Or in American parlance, Sidewalk) Then disappeared forcing the ships owners to dry dock the ship, something that should have been done 6 months before and get new certification. This did not make him popular as he re-surfaced as master working for the competition. Moving from one company into another as master, never having been done before. He wrote a book about his experiences. Four Times a Scapegoat.
